Synopsis

Calls the Amazon FSx CreateSnapshot API operation.

Syntax

New-FSXSnapshot
-VolumeId <String>
-ClientRequestToken <String>
-Name <String>
-Tag <Tag[]>
-Select <String>
-PassThru <SwitchParameter>
-Force <SwitchParameter>
-ClientConfig <AmazonFSxConfig>

Description

Creates a snapshot of an existing Amazon FSx for OpenZFS volume. With snapshots, you can easily undo file changes and compare file versions by restoring the volume to a previous version. If a snapshot with the specified client request token exists, and the parameters match, this operation returns the description of the existing snapshot. If a snapshot with the specified client request token exists, and the parameters don't match, this operation returns IncompatibleParameterError. If a snapshot with the specified client request token doesn't exist, CreateSnapshot does the following:
  • Creates a new OpenZFS snapshot with an assigned ID, and an initial lifecycle state of CREATING.
  • Returns the description of the snapshot.
By using the idempotent operation, you can retry a CreateSnapshot operation without the risk of creating an extra snapshot. This approach can be useful when an initial call fails in a way that makes it unclear whether a snapshot was created. If you use the same client request token and the initial call created a snapshot, the operation returns a successful result because all the parameters are the same. The CreateSnapshot operation returns while the snapshot's lifecycle state is still CREATING. You can check the snapshot creation status by calling the DescribeSnapshots operation, which returns the snapshot state along with other information.

Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Force <SwitchParameter>
This parameter overrides confirmation prompts to force the cmdlet to continue its operation. This parameter should always be used with caution.

Changes the cmdlet behavior to return the value passed to the VolumeId parameter. The -PassThru parameter is deprecated, use -Select '^VolumeId' instead. This parameter will be removed in a future version.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Select <String>
Use the -Select parameter to control the cmdlet output. The default value is 'Snapshot'. Specifying -Select '*' will result in the cmdlet returning the whole service response (Amazon.FSx.Model.CreateSnapshotResponse). Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.FSx.Model.CreateSnapshotResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.

AliasesTags
-VolumeId <String>
The ID of the volume that you are taking a snapshot of.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)

Common Credential and Region Parameters

-AccessKey <String>
The AWS access key for the user account. This can be a temporary access key if the corresponding session token is supplied to the -SessionToken parameter.

-Credential <AWSCredentials>
An AWSCredentials object instance containing access and secret key information, and optionally a token for session-based credentials.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-EndpointUrl <String>
The endpoint to make the call against.Note: This parameter is primarily for internal AWS use and is not required/should not be specified for normal usage. The cmdlets normally determine which endpoint to call based on the region specified to the -Region parameter or set as default in the shell (via Set-DefaultAWSRegion). Only specify this parameter if you must direct the call to a specific custom endpoint.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-NetworkCredential <PSCredential>
Used with SAML-based authentication when ProfileName references a SAML role profile.
