`name`<br/>*string* | A***unique name*** to be given to the newly created**snapshot**. If this parameter is not provided then by default the concatenation of the*instance name*,*volume name* and the*current timestamp* is used. <br/><br/>*Eg:*<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*[instance.name]\_[volume.name]\_[timestamp]*<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***i-root-6E7_RapidVol_20190117153537***

`rapid`<br/>*boolean* | Indicates the***location*** as to where the snapshot is supposed to be made. <br/><br/>Setting this to**true** will ensure that the snapshot is created in the same primary storage as where the volume is. If**false**, then the snapshot is created in a secondary storage. <br/><br/>*Note: Rapid snapshots enable much faster volume and template creation than from regular snapshots, but at a higher expense. Not all volumes support the***rapid***snapshot option.*
