Removing a Snapshot Schedule (CLI)

Use the following procedure to delete an automatic snapshot schedule for a filesystem, LUN, or project.

1. Go to and select the project or share.

   hostname:> shares select myproject
   hostname:shares myproject> select demo_share

2. Enter snapshots automatic.

   hostname:shares myproject/demo_share> snapshots automatic
   hostname:shares myproject/demo_share snapshots automatic>

   You can use the list command to view a list of the automatic snapshot schedules for this share or project.

   hostname:shares myproject/demo_share snapshots automatic> list
   Properties:
             convert = false
   
   Automatics:
   
   NAME           FREQUENCY   DAY   HH:MM KEEP
   automatic-000  day         -     00:00    4

3. If you want to keep existing automatic snapshots taken with this schedule, set the convert property to true.

   If you keep this property as convert = false, automatic snapshots taken with this schedule will be discarded when you destroy the schedule.

   hostname:shares myproject/demo_share snapshots automatic> set convert=true
                                convert = true
   hostname:shares myproject/demo_share snapshots automatic> commit

   You can use the list command to view the change.

   hostname:shares myproject/demo_share snapshots automatic> list
   Properties:
             convert = true
   
   Automatics:
   
   NAME           FREQUENCY   DAY   HH:MM KEEP
   automatic-000  day         -     00:00    4

4. Use the destroy command followed by the name of the automatic snapshot schedule you want to destroy.

   You are asked to confirm.

   hostname:shares myproject/demo_share snapshots automatic> destroy automatic-000
   This will destroy "automatic-000". Are you sure? (Y/N)

5. Type Y to confirm.

   This will destroy "automatic-000". Are you sure? (Y/N)  Y
