Applies to

  • Data ONTAP 8 7-Mode
  • Data ONTAP 7 and earlier

Description

  • Basic instructions for deleting snapshots in the '(busy,LUN)' state are provided in Deleting busy snapshot copies.
  • However, these instructions sometimes fail because a more recent snapshot holds the blocks of the LUN, preventing the busy snapshot from being deleted.
