Removing a Snapshot Schedule (BUI)

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

To use the snapshot retention hold feature, apply deferred update "Support for Snapshot Retention." For information about deferred updates, see Deferred Updates in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Customer Service Manual, Release OS8.8.x.

The following user role authorizations are required to remove a snapshot schedule:

• Delete an automatic snapshot schedule without a retention hold: scheduleSnap

• Delete an automatic snapshot schedule with a retention hold: releaseSnapRetention

For information on editing authorizations for a role, see Editing Authorizations for a Role (BUI).

1. Go to the appropriate project or share.
   1. If the schedule applies to a project: From the Shares menu, select Projects.
   2. If the schedule applies to a filesystem: From the Shares menu, select Shares.
   3. If the schedule applies to a LUN: From the Shares menu, select Shares, then LUNs.
2. Hover over the appropriate project or share, and click the edit icon .
3. Click the Snapshots tab.
4. Click Schedules.
5. Hover over the schedule you want to remove, and click the remove icon .

   An error message might warn that existing automatic snapshots could be destroyed. If the snapshot or its children are actively changing, an error message indicates that the snapshot schedule cannot be removed. Also, if the schedule contains locked automatic snapshots, the schedule cannot be removed until the retention holds expire. If the automatic snapshot schedule has a retention hold but no snapshots have been generated, the schedule can be removed. If the snapshot is a project snapshot, the schedule will also be removed from its shares.

6. If you want to keep existing automatic snapshots, click CONVERT to convert them to manual snapshots. Otherwise, click DISCARD to destroy them. If the snapshots have a retention hold, CONVERT does not change the retention hold.
