SRM Nimble SRA testing leaves nimble4sra2sync snapshots

NOS205 — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 02:49:51 GMT

Hello,

Have been doing a series of SRM testing using the Nimble SRA. All tests completed successfully. The only thing I notice is it create and leaves behind snapshots named "nimble4srasync.." Is the SRM software meant/able to clean these up? as I have to manually remove them

Thanks

Hi,

The SRA will remove the clone created when DR testing has been completed. Please check Pg.no 7 in the below document for more details.

Hi ,

Thanks for your response. Yes, the clones are being cleaned up but it's leaving behind snapshots called "nimble4sra2sync..". which then don't adhere to the protection template retention. Therefore, I am manually deleting them.

Was wondering if the cleanup should be removing these snapshots?

Thanks
