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.
