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

# 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.
