Hi,
I have a P4300G2 with a volume that has a manual Point in Time snapshot on it.
The snapshot was created by another administrator when he demonstrated snapshots to someone in december 2010
I want to remove the snapshot without dataloss.
I have several questions:
1. How do I know what data is in the snapshot and what is on the real volume?
2. Which snapshot tasks should I perform?
Kind regards,
Arjan

Re: Remove snapshot without dataloss
bryan is correct. You can delete using the CMC without any data loss. It will appear like it is gone immediately, but it may take a day or more before you see the available free space on the custer completely increased (and the consumed space decreased).
The deletion process can be IO intensive and I dont' think it can be throttled so you might want to wait to do this until you know you will have a lighter load on the system for a while... like starting friday night if your load goes light over the weekend.
