PowerScale OneFS 9.8.0.0 Web Administration Guide

Managing with snapshot locks

You can delete, create, and modify the expiration date of snapshot locks.

CAUTION:

Do not delete or modify a snapshot lock that OneFS creates unless Dell Technologies Support instructs you to do so.

Deleting a OneFS-created snapshot lock can result in data loss. If you delete a OneFS-created snapshot lock, the corresponding snapshot might be deleted while it is still in use by OneFS. If OneFS cannot access a snapshot that is necessary for an operation, the operation can malfunction and data loss can result. Modifying the expiration date of a OneFS-created snapshot lock can also result in data loss because the corresponding snapshot can be deleted prematurely.
