Snapshots on Volume, but scheduled Snapshots disabled

GAL_BANZA — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:35:05 GMT

Hi,

I have a problem with a volume on which snapshots are always made without that I want that.

The scheduled snapshots is disabled but the snapshots are still made.

Did I have the opportunity to see where they are created?

Thank you for your help.

Br,

Andi

Hi,

Could you try this command

vol options <vol name> nosnap on

This should make the volume create further snapshots.

This option is already on.

But snapshots are created...

sqlvol01 online raid_dp, flex nosnap=on, create_ucode=on,

convert_ucode=on,

GAL_BANZA — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:05:46 GMT

Hi,

I really don't know where the volume get the input to make a snapshot...

Try this and share the o/p snap sched <vol name> is this by any chance a snapmirror volume??

Re: Snapshots on Volume, but scheduled Snapshots disabled

GAL_BANZA — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:13:57 GMT

Output: snap sched

snap sched sqlvol01

Volume sqlvol01: 0 0 0

No this is no snapmirror or snapvault volume.

Hi,

Maybe snapvault volume?

>snapvault snap sched sqlvol01

You can also try to turn nosnap off, create a schedule for that volume and view does it react newly mabe schedule, and does those unwanted snapshots still appear additionally.

After the test, turn nosnap back to on no matter what the result was, maybe just a "reset" help.

Hi,

I turn nosnap off, create a schedule for that volume, waited a day. Then I turn nosnap back to on and now I get no snapshots created.

Thank you very much for your help.
