Delete a Datastore Snapshot

You can delete a datastore snapshot created with the Oracle vSphere Plug-In for Oracle Flash Storage Systems when the datastore snapshot is no longer needed.

Deleting a snapshot removes it from the inventory of snapshots taken of the datastore.
  1. In vSphere, select Datastores and Datastore Clusters.
  2. In the vSphere inventory tree, select the datastore from which you want to delete a snapshot.
    This datastore must contain LUNs only from a single Oracle FS System.
  3. Right-click the datastore and select Manage Oracle FS Storage > Manage Snapshots.
    Result:The Manage Snapshots page displays a list of the existing snapshots.
  4. Provide authentication credentials for the Oracle FS System if you have not already provided them.
  5. Select the snapshot to be deleted, and click Delete Snapshot.
  6. Click OK to confirm that you want to delete the snapshot.
