Snapshots with NPIV

The Volume Shadow Copy Service and Virtual Disk Service automatically detect whether the NPIV is enabled. If the NPIV is enabled and correctly functioning, the Volume Shadow Copy Service and Virtual Disk Service take the appropriate actions during the various snapshot stages.

The Volume Shadow Copy Service and Virtual Disk Service actions during the snapshot stages are as follows:

Creating a Snapshot
Deleting a Snapshot
Importing a Snapshot
Masking a Snapshot
