Applies to

  • ONTAP 9.13.1+
  • FlexClone
  • Third party Backup Software

Issue

  • After updating to ONTAP 9.13.1, volume snapshots/clones are not deleted after a backup is taken
  • The following error is reported in the MGWD.log (if Veeam Backup Software):

Snapshot copy "VeeamAUX_backupvol_5XaZXuCUlnfXBucxxxxx" of volume "backupvol" in Vserver "svm1" has not expired or is locked. Use the "snapshot show -fields owners, expiry-time, snaplock-expiry-time" command to view the expiry and lock status of the Snapshot copy.

  • Deleting a FlexClone does not delete it instantly as it did previously before ONTAP 9.13.1.
