Delete Snapshot Group
CAUTION: Possible damage to the storage array configuration – All of the data in the snapshot
group is lost as soon as you run this command.
Description
This command deletes an entire snapshot group and optionally the associated member virtual disks.
Syntax
delete snapGroup ["snapGroupName"]
[deleteRepositoryMembers=(TRUE | FALSE)
Parameters
Parameter Description
snapGroup The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of
the snapshot group that you want to delete.
Enclose the snapshot group identifier in double
quotation marks (" ") inside square brackets ([ ]).
deleteRepositoryMembers The parameter to save or delete the member
virtual disks. To save the member virtual disks, set
this parameter to FALSE. To delete the member
virtual disks, set this parameter to TRUE. The
default value is FALSE.
Notes
You can delete a snapshot group if it is empty or if it contains snapshot images. All of the snapshot
images in the snapshot group are deleted along with the snapshot group. If any existing snapshot image
within the snapshot group has an associated view, each view is stopped and detached from the snapshot
image. When you delete a snapshot group the associated repository virtual disk is also deleted. By default,
all member virtual disks in the repository virtual disk are retained as unused, unmapped standard virtual
disks. To remove the member virtual disks set the deleteRepositoryMembers parameter to TRUE, or
do not use this parameter. To keep the member virtual disks, set the deleteRepositoryMembers
parameter to FALSE.
Delete Snapshot Image
Description
This command deletes one or more snapshot images from a snapshot group.
Syntax
delete snapImage (snapGroup="snapshotGroupName" |
snapGroups=("snapshotGroupName1"... "snapshotGroupNamen"))
