Parameter Description
virtual disks, set this parameter to TRUE. The
default value is FALSE.
Notes
You can delete a snapshot group if it is empty or if it contains snapshot images. All of the snapshot
images in the snapshot group are deleted along with the snapshot group. If any existing snapshot image
within the snapshot group has an associated view, each view is stopped and detached from the snapshot
image. When you delete a snapshot group the associated repository virtual disk is also deleted. By default,
all member virtual disks in the repository virtual disk are retained as unused, unmapped standard virtual
disks. To remove the member virtual disks set the deleteRepositoryMembers parameter to TRUE, or
do not use this parameter. To keep the member virtual disks, set the deleteRepositoryMembers
parameter to FALSE.
