Before You Begin

Before you create a PD snapshot job, consider the following limitations:

• You cannot create snapshots of a protection domain if it contains multiple VMs with the same name.
• You cannot create snapshots of a protection domain if it contains VMs with attached volume groups that are not included into the protection domain.

• You cannot create snapshots of instantly recovered VMs since the VM disks have not completed migration to the Nutanix AHV cluster yet, which may cause the snapshots to become incomplete in case the mount server is disconnected.

• You cannot create snapshots of a protection domain in the Inactive state (for example, after having been replicated to a remote site).
