Daily snapshot reports.

[JohnSpigner]

I have an application support group that does not trust NetApp snapshots.  At some point in the past, with an older version of OnTap, snapshots were failing.  So now the application support team insists on receiving a daily E-Mail that verifies that snapshots did indeed run during the evening.   I only need to do this with small subset of the total volumes on my system.  

I do have an AIQUM server, and I see that there are several reports that show how much space the snapshots are using and the total number of snapshots per volume.  But I do not see a report that lists the snapshot files by name with the date/time the snapshot was created. 

I am using OnTap v9.12 but I will upgrade to v9.15 soon.   What is the easiest to get this report?

Hi,

How good are you in shell scripting? You can do something like this

ssh admin@<my_cluster>  snap show -fields size,create-time

vserver            volume            snapshot                                 create-time size
---------- ------------------ ---------------------- ------------------------ ------

my_svm my_svm_rootvol weekly.2025-03-02_0015 Sun Mar 02 00:15:00 2025 4.84MB
my_svm my_svm_rootvol weekly.2025-03-09_0015 Sun Mar 09 00:15:01 2025 8.26MB

Then you can format the output in html report.

good luck
