Dear all,
we delete Snapshots on our primary storage via SnapCreator version 3.6.
We have the following settings:
NTAP_SNAPSHOT_RETENTIONS=daily:7
and
NTAP_SNAPSHOT_RETENTION_AGE=7
We want to keep 7 days of Snapshots and min of 7 snapshots.
We have now the following system behaviour:
The system is keeping 8 snapshots, e.g from 2012/12/03 - 2012/12/10.
In the log file we get
[Mon Dec 10 02:22:31 2012] WARN: More than 7 snapshots exist, older snapshots of xxx:earch will be automatically deleted!
[Mon Dec 10 02:22:31 2012] WARN: Deleting Snapshot SAP_E-daily_20121202021500 on xxx:earch
[Mon Dec 10 02:22:32 2012] INFO: Snapshot Delete of SAP_E-daily_20121202021500 on xxx:earch completed Successfully
[Mon Dec 10 02:22:32 2012] WARN: More than 7 snapshots exist (1) but they could not be deleted because they are not older than the retention age (7 days) for
In my opinion this is not correct.
Or am I wrong?
Thanks for your help.
BR,
Andreas
