Use the viopatch snapshot command to take and manage snapshots of your OpenStack deployment for pre-patch backup.
Important: The
viopatch snapshot take command stops OpenStack services. Services will be started again when the patch is installed. If you decide not to install a patch after taking a snapshot, you can manually start OpenStack services by running the
viocli services start command.
The viopatch snapshot command uses the following syntax.
viopatch snapshot {take | revert | remove | list} [-d NAME] [-p] [--verbose]
| Parameter | Mandatory or Optional | Description |

| -p or --progress |
Optional |

| --verbose |
Optional |

You can also run viopatch snapshot -h or viopatch snapshot --help to display the parameters for the command.
