Working with Snapshot Management in the Expert mode (g_snapshot)

Important:

This section applies only to Scalable Platforms (ElasticXL, Maestro, and Chassis).
On Scalable Platforms, you must run the applicable commands in the Expert mode on the applicable Security Group.
Maestro Security Groups that contain different Security Appliance models do not support Gaia Snapshot operations (in the Global Gaia Portal or Global Gaia Clish).

To collect or import a Gaia Snapshot in such a Security Group, connect directly to Gaia Portal or Gaia Clish on each Security Appliance in the Security Group.

Description

Use the "g_snapshot" command in the Expert mode to show and revert snapshots for specific Security Group Members.

This command is different from the Gaia Clish "snapshot" command, which works for all Security Group Members together.

g_snapshot [-b <SGM IDs>] show

g_snapshot [-b <SGM IDs>] revert <Name of Snapshot>
