I need your help.

I have issue that can't destroy the volume which has a busy snapshot for OSSV.

Let me explain waht I did.

# I tried to offline a volume for destroy.

vol offline FA01_Vol11

The following prevents offline of volume FA01_Vol11

qtree replication destination

vol offline: Volume is in use by other operations. (FA01_Vol11).

# Then I deleted all snapshot except busy one.

snap list FA01_Vol11

olume FA01_Vol11

working...

%/used %/total date name

---------- ---------- ------------ --------

1% ( 1%) 1% ( 1%) Feb 24 01:12 JPTDC1NS02(2014870149)_FA01_Vol11-base.54 (busy,snapvault)

# The snapshot is used by OSSV.

To delete the snapshot, I need to release OSSV.

However the filer is the secondary system and "release" have to run on the source system.

The source system is already decommissioned.

What should I do ?

Do you have any idea to delete the snap shout forcefully in busy status ?

I also let you now the OSSV status.

ns02 snapvault status -l

Snapvault is ON.

Hi,

Try to turn OFF and ON the option "snapvault.enable" on the filer when there are no snapvault transfers happening. Now try deleting the volume.
