MSA 2050 Won't Let Me Delete Old Snapshots

[Moises_F_NPS]

Hi, I'm trying to delete old snapshots from a degraded pool in my MSA 2050 to free up some of the space. When I try to delete any of them it gives me an error: Error: The specified volume name conflicts with an internal name used by the system. - One or more snapshots were not deleted.

These snapshots can only be seen if I run the command "show snapshots type all".

Hi @venkat_y ,

Thank you for your reply. I'll have to delete it and recreate it, unfortunately. Trying to rename it gives me the same error.

Thanks again,

Moises
