What is Consistency Point..? How its differ from Snapshot..?

 Consistency Point: A CP is triggered whenever the Filesystem reaches a point where it wants to update the physical data on the disks, with whatever has accumulated in Cache (and was journaled in NVRAM).

Snapshot: A SnapShot is created whenever the snap-schedule is configured to trigger it or any other operation (SnapManager, SnapDrive, SnapMirror, SnapVault, Administrator) creates a new SnapShot. Creating a SnapShot also triggers a CP, because the SnapShot is ALWAYS a CONSISTENT IMAGE fo the Filesystem at this point in time

    Cp is the point I. Time data of nvram
    Tht help to restore the system if it fails
    Snapshot is for volumes and aggregates
    Where data is visible to users
    Cp data is internal to os nd cannot be accesed
    This is accessed only by os
