Using Persistent Images
NOTE: Before taking a persistent image, prepare each of your volumes for persistent images.
(See "Preparing Your Volumes for Persistent Images".)
In addition to scheduling persistent images, you can take new persistent images on demand,
delete existing persistent images, configure the persistent image environment, and set
persistent image retention weights.

You can use patterns in the persistent image name to differentiate your persistent
images. For example if you use a pattern of Snapshot.%i and you take two persistent
images, you would have Snapshot.1 and Snapshot.2. The default persistent image
name pattern is Snapshot %M-%D-%Y %H.%m.%s. Valid pattern macros are as
follows:
•%M = Month
• %D = Day
•%Y = Year
• %h = Hours in 12-hour format
• %H = Hours in 24-hour format
