Reclaiming file system space previously used for snapshots
Snapshot reclamation tasks are used to reclaim file system space previously used by snapshots
that have been deleted.
IMPORTANT: A snapshot reclamation task is required for each file system containing snap trees
that have scheduled snapshots.
Using the Management Console, you can schedule a snapshot reclamation task to run at a specific
time on a recurring basis. The reclamation task runs on an entire file system, not on a specific
snapshot directory tree within that file system. If a file system includes two snapshot directory trees,
space is reclaimed in both snapshot directory trees.
To start a new snapshot reclamation task, select the appropriate file system from the Filesystems
panel and then select Active Tasks > Snapshot Space Reclamation from the lower Navigator.
Select New on the Task Summary panel to open the New Snapshot Space Reclamation Task dialog
box.
