And remember that a GPFS snapshot will only capture the disk as GPFS knows about it - any memory-cached data held by databases etc will *not* be captured (leading to the possibility of an inconsistent version being snapped). You'll need to do some sort of handshaking with any databases to get them to do a "flush everything to disk" to ensure on-disk consistency.
