Ha sanyone seen a command to list the status of "Automatic aggregate Snapshot copy deletion " I want to confrim that it is on form all my aggreagtes.

I ran the command on one

aggr options aggr0 snapshot_autodelete on

I believe it is the default AGGREGATE snap management behavour on all DoT 7.x filers.

The aggr snap reserve is 5% by default and they snap every hour. They then delete themselves automatically.

Ok,

It looks like there is not a way to view this for all aggregates at one time, I have to do each one by using the "aggr options" command for each aggregate on a filer.

bmifsi3> aggr options aggr0

root, diskroot, nosnap=on, raidtype=raid_dp, raidsize=14,

ignore_inconsistent=off, snapmirrored=off, resyncsnaptime=60,

fs_size_fixed=off, snapshot_autodelete=on, lost_write_protect=on

Aggregate snapshot auto-deletion is enabled on all aggregates by default for what it's worth....it will only ever be off if you've manually disabled it (which is NOT recommended).
