SnapCreator is not deleting snapshots

Hi,

We have upgraded SnapCreator from 3.6 to 4.1.

In 3.6 everything was working fine. We did not change anything to the config.

Now we have running SnapCreator in 4.1 and see that SnapCreator is not deleting snapshots on the primary. There is also no error in the log files.

We have only a comment line in the logfile:

########## Running Snapshot copy Delete on Primary ##########

########## Running Snapshot copy Delete on Secondary ##########

########## Running Snapshot copy Delete on Secondary NETAPP02 ##########

In the configfile, we have the following config:

########################################################################################################################

#     Snapshot Options                                                                                                 #

########################################################################################################################

SNAME=SERVER15

SNAP_TIMESTAMP_ONLY=Y

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_POLICIES=

NTAP_USE_EXTERNAL_SNAPSHOT=N

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_NODELETE=N

NTAP_CONSISTENCY_GROUP_TIMEOUT=MEDIUM

NTAP_CONSISTENCY_GROUP_WAFL_SYNC=N

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_RETENTION_AGE=daily:2

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_DELETE_BY_AGE_ONLY=N

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_RESTORE_AUTO_DETECT=Y

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_LABEL=

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_CLEANUP=N

NTAP_EXTERNAL_SNAPSHOT_REGEX=.*

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_RETENTIONS=DAILY:2

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_CMD01=sdcli snap create -D D: -s %SNAME-%SNAP_TYPE_%SNAP_TIME

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_CMD02=sdcli snap create -D E: -s %SNAME-%SNAP_TYPE_%SNAP_TIME

NTAP_CONSISTENCY_GROUP_SNAPSHOT=N

NTAP_METADATA_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_CMD=

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_DEPENDENCY_IGNORE=N

NTAP_SNAPSHOT_DISABLE=N

Is there something changed in the upgrade to 4.1?

Why is SnapCreator not deleting my snapshots on the primary? It was working in 3.6 without any problem

I am able to reproduce this behavior in the lab.

I am looking into this now.

I will keep you posted soon.
