# Available actions: Create, Update (name, secure, time_to_live, link, restore), Delete and Import an existing snapshot from the PowerMax Array.
# After `terraform apply` of this example file it will create a new snapshot with the name set in `name` attribute on the PowerMax for the storage group set in the storage group `name` attribute
# NOTE: that all of the PowerMax `snapshot_actions` are only available during modify of the snapshot after it has been created.
