Cleaning up the volume snapshots

You can clean up the volume snapshots that are in the failed or error state using the snapshot ID or the policy ID.

Using CLI
nbosjm volume-snapshot-cleanup --snapshot_id <snapshot_id>
nbosjm volume-snapshot-cleanup --policy <policy_id>
  • <snapshot_id> ID of the policy snapshot to clean up.

  • <policy_id> ID of the policy that has volume snapshots in failed or error state and needs to be cleaned up.

Note:

If you use both snapshot_id and policy_id options, snapshot ID must be associated with the policy.
