Deleting Snapshot Virtual Disk or consistency group Snapshot Virtual Disk

Use the Delete Snapshot Virtual Disk option to delete a snapshot virtual disk or consistency group snapshot virtual disk that is no longer needed for backup or software application testing purposes. You also can specify whether you want to delete the snapshot repository virtual disk associated with a read-write snapshot virtual disk or a read-write consistency group snapshot virtual disk or retain the snapshot repository virtual disk as an unmapped virtual disk.

When a snapshot virtual disk or consistency group snapshot virtual disk is deleted, the system performs the following actions:
  • Deletes all member snapshot virtual disks—for a consistency group snapshot virtual disk.
  • Removes all associated host mappings.
NOTE: Deleting a base virtual disk automatically deletes any associated snapshot virtual disk or consistency group snapshot virtual disk. You cannot delete a snapshot virtual disk that is in a virtual disk copy with a status of In Progress.
To rename a snapshot virtual disk or consistency group snapshot virtual disk:
  1. From the AMW, select the Storage & Copy Services tab.
  2. Select the snapshot virtual disk or consistency group snapshot virtual disk that you want to disable and then select one of the following:
    • Copy Services > Snapshot Virtual disk > Delete. The Confirm Delete Snapshot Virtual Disk window is displayed.
    • Copy Services > Consistency Group Snapshot Virtual Disk > Delete. The Confirm Delete Consistency Group Snapshot Virtual Disk window is displayed.
  3. If the snapshot virtual disk or the consistency group snapshot virtual disk is read-write, select the option to delete the associated repository.
  4. Type yes in the text box and then click Delete to delete the snapshot virtual disk or consistency group snapshot virtual disk.
