1. Open the Storage Infrastructure view.
2. In the inventory pane, expand the storage system tree.
3. Right-click the necessary volume and select Create Snapshot.
4. In the New Storage Snapshot window, specify a name for the created snapshot and provide a description for the snapshot (if the snapshot description field is available).

Deleting Snapshots

To delete a volume snapshot:

1. Open the Storage Infrastructure view.
2. In the inventory pane, expand the storage system tree.
3. Right-click the necessary snapshot and select Delete snapshot.
