Any way to verify if a Snapshot policy is being used?

I can check what SnapShot policy is associated with a volume by running "vol show -instance".

However, is there any way to trace another way around, if a SS policy is still valid or being used by any volumes? I wanted to remove it if no volumes are assocaiting this policy.

You could do "volume show -snapshot-policy <name of policy>" that would list the volumes using that policy and if no one is using it ... then no results.
