Remove a member volume from a snapshot consistency group
You can remove a member volume from an existing snapshot consistency group.
When you remove a member volume from a snapshot consistency group, SANtricity System Manager automatically deletes the snapshot objects associated with that member volume.
-
Select Storage > Snapshots.
-
Click the Snapshot Consistency Groups tab.
-
Expand the snapshot consistency group you want to modify by selecting the plus (+) sign next to it.
-
Select the member volume that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
-
Confirm that you want to perform the operation, and then click Remove.
SANtricity System Manager performs the following actions:
-
Deletes all snapshot images and snapshot volumes associated with the member volume.
-
Deletes the snapshot group associated with the member volume.
-
The member volume is not otherwise changed or deleted.
