Hi Team, Is it possible to take the snapshot in local mount point without shared FS in a cluster. In my environment i tested it by giving local mount points as a repository with same mount point name in cluster nodes.I found snapshot is saving data on all cluster nodes. Can we give parameter to save data on only once cluster node. ---

Try mounting your preferred directory as a remote directory on other nodes ---
