Disabling Snapshots on a NetApp Filer

Network appliance makes a series of devices called NetApp filers. These are network-attached storage devices used to share a filesystem across the network.

These filers support a feature known as snapshot. A snapshot is a point-in-time picture of the disk. The snapshot can be used as a backup or for any other copy and keep procedure.

In some cases, these snapshots can be undesirable. To disable them, log on to filerview.

Go to the:

Volumes->Snapshots->Manage

menu.

Select the checkboxes next to the snapshots you want to delete.

Then click delete.

A dialog box asking you to confirm comes up.

Confirm the deletion.

You are done.
