Chapter 11: Manage Hardware Snapshots 133
Delete a Snapshot
Storage arrays typically limit the number of snapshots that can be taken
of a specific filesystem. Before taking an additional snapshot, you will
need to delete an existing snapshot. Also, if you want to destroy a
filesystem, you will first need to delete all snapshots of that filesystem.
To delete a snapshot, select the snapshot on the Management Console,
right-click, and select Delete (or use (or select Edit > Filesystem > Create
Snapshot).
To delete a snapshot from the command line, type the following:
mx snapshot destroy <volume>
Snapclone devices, like regular filesystem LUNs, cannot be deleted
from the Management Console. To delete snapclones, you must destroy
the filesystem and/or volume, deport the LUN(s), and delete the LUN(s)
with the array-specific utilities.
Assign or Remove Drive Letters or Mount
Paths
Drive letters or mount paths can be assigned or unassigned to snapshots
in the same manner as filesystems. Select the snapshot on the
Management Console, right-click, and select Assign Path or Unassign
Paths as appropriate. If you are assigning a drive letter or path to a
snapshot, the Assign a Cluster-Wide Drive Letter window appears,
allowing you to specify the appropriate drive letter or path.
To assign a drive letter or path to a snapshot from the command line, type
the following:
mx fs assignpath --path <path or driveletter> <snapshot>
