Monitoring snapshots....??

LLMadmin — Mon, 26 Nov 2018 19:28:40 GMT

Currently have a Nimble AF1000. Was wondering if there's possibly a way to monitor snapshots on it (specifically, the manual ones)? I believe, since the manual snapshots don't expire, it seems to be taking up too much space. Because of this, we get alerts of the Nimble being more than 85% used. So, in a few months you can imagine how much it'll grow. So, was just wondering if there's a way to monitor & track this? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hello

Could you give us more information of what your looking as all snapshots appears in the GUI and CLI. Moreover, Infosight alerts when there are “unmanaged” snapshots, and you can configure for each volume the limit for snapshots.

Thanks

Hello Varun,

Unmanaged Snapshots are snapshots residing on your system that aren't governed by any retention policy you've created, meaning they'll never get removed from your system (and potentially eat up a lot of space).

There' a good thread here with some more discussion on your issue, which may help: https://community.hpe.com/t5/Array-Performance-and-Data/Delete-all-orphaned-snapshots-at-once/td-p/6983368
