check on "Automatic aggregate Snapshot copy deletion " status

bader — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:25:48 GMT

Has anyone seen a command to list the status of "Automatic aggregate Snapshot copy deletion " for aggregates. I want to confrim that it is on form all my aggregates.

I ran the command, and got this:

aggr options aggr0 snapshot_autodelete on

Tue Jul 14 09:52:09 EDT [bmifsi3: wafl.spacemgmnt.policyChg:info]: The space management policy for volume aggr0 has changed: autodelete state disabled.

I believe this option was on, so why did it say policy changed and why doe sit say "auto delete state disabled" when this option turns on auto delete.

Thanks

Bob

simply issue aggr status command & you'll get the info you're after:

fas01> aggr status
Aggr State Status Options
aggr0 online raid_dp, aggr root, snapshot_autodelete=off

Okay, there is actually a second bottom to that

IF snapshot_autodelete is set to ON, then aggr status doesn't show any info at all:

fas01> aggr options aggr0 snapshot_autodelete on
fas01> aggr status
Aggr State Status Options
aggr0 online raid_dp, aggr root
