For NetApp SAN volumes, failure to create snapshot of a volume
For NetApp SAN volumes, if autodelete snapshot policy trigger is set to "snap_reserve", then snapshot creation will fail with the following error:
"flexsnap.OperationFailed: Failed to create snapshot of volume <VolumeName>.Error: Autodelete snapshot policy is enabled for volume, auto_delete trigger is set to snap_reserve"
To ensure autodelete snapshot policy trigger is set "snap_reserve" the following command can be used on NetApp array.
volume snapshot autodelete show -vserver <SvmName> -volume <VolumeName>
To avoid this failure, update the volume snapshot auto delete trigger to "volume" from "snap_reserve".
volume snapshot autodelete modify -vserver <SvmName> -volume <VolumeName> -trigger volume
