External Snapshot using previously defined lv
I prefer to assign my own lv names rather than the automatic LV creation that the snapshot
Can it be done or is IBM's man page flawed?
I am on AIX 6.1 TL 04 Machine type 9133-55A
All local SCSI storage.
I manually create the lv and attempt to create the snapshot:
# mklv -y snapfs99 -t'jfs2' tempvg 1
snapfs99
# /usr/sbin/snapshot -o snapfrom=/clarity -n snapfs99
snapshot: /dev/prdlv27: Operation not permitted.
