Using Persistent Images

NOTE: Before taking a persistent image, prepare each of your volumes for persistent images.
(See "Preparing Your Volumes for Persistent Images".)
In addition to scheduling persistent images, you can take new persistent images on demand,
delete existing persistent images, configure the persistent image environment, and set
persistent image retention weights.
