Removing stale snapshots (Solaris)
On Solaris, if your cache partition runs out of space, stale snapshots may be taking up space on the cache partition. Stale snapshots are those that FlashBackup did not automatically delete.
To remove stale snapshots (Solaris)
- Determine if there are stale snapshots on your Solaris client by executing the following:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/driver/snaplist
- For each snapshot that is listed, run the following to make sure a bpbkar process is associated with it:
ps -eaf |grep ident
where ident is the snapshot process id displayed by the snaplist command.
- Remove snapshots that do not have an associated bpbkar process by entering the following:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/driver/snapoff snapn
where snapn is the snapshot id displayed by the snaplist command.
