Parameter
Parameter Description
consistencyGroup
The name of the consistency group from which
you want to delete the snapshot images. Enclose
the consistency group name in double quotation
marks (" ").
deleteCount
The number of snapshot images that you want to
delete from the consistency group. Use integer
values.
This parameter deletes the oldest snapshot image
first and continues to delete the oldest snapshot
images until reaching the number that you enter.
retainCount
The number of snapshot images that you want to
keep in the consistency group. Use integer values.
This parameter keeps the most recent snapshot
images in the consistency group.
ignoreSnapVirtualDisk
Determines whether the associated consistency
group snapshot virtual disk is kept or deleted. This
parameter applies only if the consistency group
snapshot image is associated with a consistency
group snapshot virtual disk. To keep the snapshot
virtual disk, set this parameter to TRUE. To delete
the snapshot virtual disk, set this parameter to
FALSE. The default value is FALSE.
Notes
If the snapshot images cannot be deleted for all of the relevant consistency groups, the operation fails
and none of the snapshot images are deleted.
When you delete a consistency group snapshot image that is associated with a consistency group
snapshot virtual disk, the corresponding snapshot virtual disk member in the consistency group snapshot
virtual disk transition to the Stopped state. A snapshot virtual disk member in the Stopped state no longer
has a relationship to the snapshot group of the deleted snapshot image. However, a snapshot virtual disk
member in the Stopped state keeps its relationship to its consistency group snapshot virtual disk.
Delete Consistency Group Snapshot Virtual Disk
Description
This command deletes the snapshot virtual disk of a consistency group. You can also delete the
repository members.
