Disks and Volumes
Maximum Persistent Images
Specifies the maximum number of active persistent images the server will support to a
maximum of 250. If adding another persistent image would exceed this number, the system
will delete the oldest existing persistent image.
Inactive Period
Specifies the amount of time a volume must be dormant before a persistent image is
created. Prior to starting a persistent image, the system will wait for the volume to be
imaged to become inactive. The default value will allow systems to start an image with a
consistent file set and a minimal time-out. Administrators can change this value for system
optimization. Reducing the inactive period will allow you to create persistent images even
on busy systems, but with possible synchronization problems within applications which are
concurrently writing to multiple files.
Inactive Time Out
Specifies how long the server should try to create a persistent image. A persistent image will
not begin until a period of relative inactivity set by the Inactive period has passed. If an
interval passes that is longer than the Inactive timeout period, the persistent image will not
be created and a notice generated to the system event log.
Image Directory
Specifies the root directory used for the persistent image. Each persistent image appears as a
subdirectory of the volume that is being imaged. The entire content of the volume as it
existed at the moment the persistent image was created will appear under this directory.
