  • ONTAP 9

Issue

  • When attempting to delete a snapshot using the command vol snapshot delete, the operation appears to execute successfully (returns to prompt without errors), but the snapshot remains undeleted.
     
  • Snapshot is not busy, not locked, has no owner, and the volume has no SnapMirror relationship.
     
  • Attempting snapshot delete command adding -ignore-owners true and -force true doesn't work either:

::> vol snapshot delete -vserver vs1 -volume vol1 -snapshot ss1 -ignore-owners true -force true
