Abstract
In response to detecting that at least one snapshot group identifier has been allocated that has a maximum snapshot group identifier value, snapshot group identifiers are allocated to each newly created snapshot group by finding a previously allocated snapshot group identifier that is currently unused, and allocating the previously allocated snapshot group identifier that is currently unused to the newly created snapshot group.
