Creating a Snapshot (Discarded)

Function

This API is used to create a snapshot for a volume.

This API has been discarded. Use the EVS API "Creating an EVS Snapshot (OpenStack Cinder API v2)".

Constraints

A snapshot name cannot be prefixed with autobk_snapshot.

URI

POST /v2.1/{project_id}/os-snapshots

Table 1 describes the parameters in the URI.

Table 1 Parameter description
Parameter	Mandatory	Description
project_id	Yes	Specifies the project ID. For details about how to obtain the ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.

Request

Table 2 describes the request parameters.

Table 2 Request parameters
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
display_description	No	String	Specifies the snapshot description.
volume_id	Yes	String	Specifies the volume ID.
display_name	No	String	Specifies the name of the EVS snapshot. The value contains a maximum of 255 bytes. NOTE: When creating a backup for an EVS disk through VBS, a snapshot will be created and named with prefix autobk_snapshot_. The EVS console has imposed operation restrictions on snapshots with prefix autobk_snapshot_. Therefore, you are advised to not use autobk_snapshot_ as the name prefix for the snapshots you created. Otherwise, the snapshots cannot be used normally.
force	No	Boolean	Specifies whether a snapshot is to be forcibly created. If the value is true, a snapshot for the volume in use can be created.

Response

Table 3 describes the response parameters.

Table 3 Response parameters
