Was this problem ever fixed?
I have my SQL2005 configured with:
- 1 LUN for databases.
- 1 LUN for logs.
- 1 LUN for system dbs.
- 1 LUN for SnapInfo.
(this is a supported configuration).
Using SMSQL v5 I have hourly transaction logs backups, and daily full backups running. I keep all snaps for 7 days.
This works fine for all drives other than the SnapInfo drive - despite me setting "RetainSnapInfoDays 7" it never deletes any snapshots - in my case my volume then fills before I hit the 255 snapshot limit.
But I think its the same issue. I just had my NetApp consultants check the configuration last week but still the problem persists. Old SnapInfo snapshots just don't get deleted.
It would be great to know if/how you solved this.
