Mode describes whether the target ele-
ments will be updated synchronously or
asynchronously. If null, implementation
decides the mode.

Method overview
This method allows a client to create (or start a task to create) a new group of storage objects which
are replicas of the specified source storage or a group of source storage objects (SourceElements).
This method is used to effect the following VSM operations:
• Create a snapshot on an existing PiT.
• Delete a PiT, snapclone group, migration group, asynchronous mirroring group, or synchronous
mirroring group.
• Create an additional snapclone job for a snapclone group. The pool for the target VirtualDisk
may be in the local SVSP domain or a remote SVSP domain.
• Create an additional asynchronous mirroring job for an asynchronous mirroring group. The pool
for the target VirtualDisk may be in the local SVSP domain or a remote SVSP domain.
