ignoreSnapVirtualDisk=(TRUE FALSE) snapImageID=OLDEST)

Parameters

Parameter

Description

 

 

snapGroup or snapGroups

The name of the snapshot group that has the

 

snapshot image that you want to delete. Enclose

 

the name of the snapshot group in double

 

quotation marks (" "). If you enter more than one

 

snapshot group name, enclose each of the

 

snapshot group names in double quotation marks

 

(" "). Enclose all of the snapshot group names in

 

parentheses.

 

If you do not use any other parameters with the

 

snapGroup parameter or snapGroups parameter,

 

then by default the oldest snapshot image is

 

deleted.

deleteCount

The number of snapshot images that you want to

 

delete from the snapshot group. Use integer

 

values. This parameter deletes the oldest snapshot

 

image first and continues to delete the oldest

 

snapshot images until reaching the number that

 

you enter.

 

If the number that you enter is greater than the

 

actual number of all of the snapshot images in the

 

snapshot group, all of the snapshot images will be

 

deleted. The snapshot group is left empty.

retainCount

The number of snapshot images that you want to

 

keep in the snapshot group. Use integer values.

 

This parameter keeps the most recent snapshot

 

images in the snapshot group and deletes older

 

snapshot images.

 

If the number of existing snapshot images in the

 

snapshot group is less than the number that you

 

enter, none of the snapshot images are deleted.

ignoreSnapVirtual Disk

Use this parameter to make sure that you do not

 

delete a snapshot image that has a snapshot virtual

 

disk associated with the snapshot image. You can

 

use one of these values:

 

TRUE—Use this value to delete the snapshot

 

image even though the snapshot image has an

 

associated snapshot virtual disk.

 

FALSE—Use this value to keep the snapshot

 

image when the snapshot image has an

 

associated snapshot virtual disk.

 

The default value is TRUE.
