NAME

Get-DcsSnapshotGroupCreationProperties

SYNOPSIS

Returns snapshot group creation data for all virtual disk(s) in the specified virtual disk group.

SYNTAX

Get-DcsSnapshotGroupCreationProperties -VirtualDiskGroup <Object> [-Connection <String>] [-PipelineVariable <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Returns snapshot group creation data for all virtual disk(s) in the specified virtual disk group. The DestinationPoolId in SnapshotGroupCreationData will be set to Id of the compatible pool for creating snapshot of the virtual disk by validating the pools in the following order:

1. Preferred snapshot pool of the virtual disk,
2. Default snapshot pool of the first server and,
3. The pool with most free space in the first server of virtual disk.

The DestinationPoolId in SnapshotGroupCreationData will be set to "null" when there are NO compatible pools for creating snapshot of virtual disk. The Compression in SnapshotGroupCreationData will be set to true if source virtual disk has Inline Deduplication or Inline Compression or both enabled and Destination Pool has Capacity Optimization enabled. The StorageProfileId in SnapshotGroupCreationData will be inherited from the source virtual disk. The SnapshotGroupCreationData will be used as value for SnapshotGroupCreationProperties in Add-DcsSnapshot.
