    6. To use this option, select the check box next to the Take a snapshot on every reboot (recommended for boot virtual drives) field.

  4. If the answer is Yes, select the check box next to the Confirm field.
  5. When you select the check box, the Yes button gets enabled. The snapshots get enabled on the virtual drive.
    This virtual drive becomes a snapshot repository. Use it only for storing snapshot-related data.
    If you click No, the snapshots will not be enabled on the selected virtual drive.

    After you enable snapshots on this virtual drive, you cannot change the allocated percentage of capacity or the snapshot repository without first disabling snapshots and losing any snapshot data.
