Delete snapshot with powershell

peldah

Hi,

I am trying to delete snapshot from powershell but it does not work for me.

I´m able to connect to my cluster, I can browse vols and snapshots, but follow command just does not work.

I enter my command and nothing happens. No promt or error.

Down below is my command where I try to delete snapshot "hourly.2019-09-26_0805"

Get-NcVol snapinfo | Get-NcSnapshot hourly.2019-09-26_0805 | Remove-NcSnapshot

I have tried to add  -confirm:$false and it does not make any different.

I make snapshots with SMHV and it does not delete old snapshots, thats is why I have to remove them with a script.

Do I need to enable anything on the cluster to allow a script to delete snapshots?

I use Ontap 9.5 SP6 and latest powershell kit for 9.6

Hi,

We have lot of examples on the NetApp forums to achieve the same, I just picked one and tested on my lab. It works for me.

PS C:\Users\Administrator> Get-Ncvserver SVM_CIFS | get-ncvol vol_CIFS | get-ncsnapshot |? {$_.name -like "hourly.2019-09-27_1505"} | remove-ncsnapshot -Confirm:$False
PS C:\Users\Administrator>

If you don't add confirmation, it will prompt you for Y or N

Is this what you need ?  Let us know.
