Snapshot engine | Configuration | Naming convention | Example
--- | --- | --- | ---
HPE 3PAR StoreServ Clone, only applicable to HPE Alletra Storage MP | default | SP_2_JobID_SnapID | SP_2_7696_2726
HPE Alletra Storage MP Snap | default | SP_2_JobID_SnapID | SP_2_1508_925

where:

- SP_2 is a constant value.

- JobID is the Commvault software JobID.

Array host | CV<fc / is / nv><mount_host_name> | Note: If the mount host name exceeds 25 characters, only the first 25 are used to construct the array host name to avoid exceeding the 31-character limit.

Remote copy group - Individual volumes | CV_RCG + ( srcVolName or wwn of src vol ) |
Remote copy group - Volume from Vvset | CV_RCG_VVSET_ + (VVsetId in hex) |
Remote volume name | CVR_ + (if 16ByteWWN then srcVolWWN.substr(10,16) else srcVolWWN) + "_" + JobId(in hex) | Commvault v2 - CC: <ccid (hex)>, snap job: <snap_job_id>, datetime (utc): <utc date& time in YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS.ssssssZ>
