Issue
- With SM-BC configured, SCV, at the end of backup jobs, triggers the snapshot/backup deletion as per retention settings. Backups references are removed from the SCV repository but some snapshots are not deleted from the storage.
- Snapshot left behind are the one that are reporting this message in ASUP
Snapshot copy 'snaphost_name' is not successfully replicated for the relationship 'xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx' with source volume DSID 'xxxx' and path '/vol/volpath'. Reason: Failed to write metadata information to source volume snapshot
