Hello,
Below snapmirror snapshots are busy. But, can be deleted easily. They are busy but not 'locked' in our environment.
If a script is run carelessly to delete all older snapshots, or if someone deletes the snapshot manually, or if auto deletion kicks in, these snapshots can easily be deleted. Esp for large databases, we end up re-initializing the whole volume.
Do you know if using any vol options or so, I can lock the snapmirror snapshots for regular users? And as a storage admin, I can go to storage system as privileged user etc to delete these snapmirror snapshots if at all need be?
