Can I change snapshot name not to include the date and time?

[bbjholcomb]

We have data centers around the world so we have different time zones, it would help if we configure it they way it is in 7DOT, for example:

7CODT hourly.0 in cDOT it is hourly.2013-11-15_0401

Interestingly, the option you want looks like it is a volume attribute.

Take a look at "volume modify -sched-snap-name". 

Quoting from the Commands_Manual_Page_Reference under the volume modify command:

[-sched-snap-name {create_time|ordinal}] - Naming Scheme for Automatic Snapshots

This option specifies the naming convention for automatic Snapshot copies. If set to create-time, automatic Snapshot copies are named using the format <schedule_name>.yyyy-mm-dd_hhmm. Example: "hourly.2010-04-01_0831". If set to ordinal, automatic Snapshot copies are named using the format <schedule_name>.<n>. Example: "hourly.3"

But when you actually try that command on a clustered filer, it does not work: "Error: command failed: Option sched-snap-name is not supported on a cluster mode volume."

I know this post is really old, but did you ever get an answer for this?  Thanks.
