value is failSnapShot.

Turns on or off the ability to schedule a snapshot
(legacy) operation. To turn on snapshot (legacy)
scheduling, set this parameter to TRUE. To turn off
snapshot (legacy) scheduling, set the parameter to
FALSE.

Use this parameter to schedule a snapshot (legacy)
operation.
You can use one of these options for setting a
schedule for a snapshot (legacy) operation:
• immediate
• startDate
• scheduleDay

• endDate
• noEndDate
• timesPerDay
• timeZone

Notes
The virtual disk that you are taking a snapshot (legacy) of must be a standard virtual disk in the storage
array. The maximum number of snapshot (legacy) virtual disks that you can create is one-half of the total
number of virtual disks that are supported by a RAID controller module.
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), hyphen (-), and pound (#) for
the names. Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.
One technique for naming the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk and the snapshot (legacy) repository virtual
disk is to add a hyphenated suffix to the original base virtual disk name. The suffix distinguishes between
the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk and the snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk. For example, if you
have a base virtual disk with a name of Engineering Data, the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk can have a
name of Engineering Data-S1, and the snapshot (legacy) repository virtual disk can have a name of
EngineeringData- R1.
If you do not choose a name for either the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk or the snapshot (legacy)
repository virtual disk, the MD storage management software creates a default name by using the base
virtual disk name. An example of the snapshot (legacy) virtual disk name that the RAID controller modules
might create is, if the base virtual disk name is aaa and does not have a snapshot (legacy) virtual disk, the
default snapshot (legacy) virtual disk name is aaa – 1. If the base virtual disk already has n – 1 number of
snapshot (legacy) virtual disks, the default name is aaa – n. An example of the snapshot (legacy)
