CLI Guide

Parameter Description
snapshot images until reaching the number that
you enter.
If the number that you enter is greater than the
actual number of all of the snapshot images in the
snapshot group, all of the snapshot images will be
deleted. The snapshot group is left empty.
retainCount
The number of snapshot images that you want to
keep in the snapshot group. Use integer values.
This parameter keeps the most recent snapshot
images in the snapshot group and deletes older
snapshot images.
If the number of existing snapshot images in the
snapshot group is less than the number that you
enter, none of the snapshot images are deleted.
ignoreSnapVirtual Disk
Use this parameter to make sure that you do not
delete a snapshot image that has a snapshot virtual
disk associated with the snapshot image. You can
use one of these values:
• TRUE—Use this value to delete the snapshot
image even though the snapshot image has an
associated snapshot virtual disk.
• FALSE—Use this value to keep the snapshot
image when the snapshot image has an
associated snapshot virtual disk.
The default value is TRUE.
snapImageID
The snapImageID parameter accepts only the
OLDEST option. This parameter deletes the earliest
snapshot image created.
Notes
You can delete the oldest snapshot image from a snapshot group repository virtual disk. The definition of
a snapshot image that you delete is removed from the system. The space occupied by the snapshot
image that you delete from the snapshot group repository virtual disk is released and made available for
reuse within the snapshot group.
Any snapshot virtual disks that exist for a snapshot image transition to the Stopped state when the
snapshot image is deleted.
This command will not run when the RAID controller module is in Lockdown mode.
