Reference Guide

-async
Perform asynchronous operation.
refresh
Refresh the contents of the target volume from another volume in the same family. By default, a
backup snapshot of the target volume is created before the target volume is refreshed. To skip
creating a backup snapshot, set the create_backup_snap property to false in the refresh request. A
profile for the backup snapshot is automatically generated if a custom profile is not specified. An
automatically generated profile only contains a system generated unique name for the backup
snapshot. When a volume is refreshed, its source_time is set to the source_time of the volume from
which it was refreshed.
