Since the subject of snapshots has come up, I also have a question ...</div>

Snapshots can be created from the command line with <b>mmcrsnapshot, </b>and hence can be automated via con jobs etc.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Snapshots can also be created from the Scale GUI. The GUI also provides its own automation for the creation, retention, and deletion of snapshots.</div>

My question is: do most customers use the former or the latter for automation?</div>

(I also note that <b>/usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli/mksnaprule </b>exists and appears to do exactly the same as what the GUI does it terms of creating automated snapshots. It is a relic of V7000 Unified but still works fine in Spectrum Scale 5.1.2.2. How many customers
also use the commands found in <b>/usr/lpp/mmfs/gui/cli</b>/ ? )</div>
