Deleting a remote snapshot
CAUTION: Do not delete individual snapshots that are part of a snapshot set. To see associated
snapshots, select a snapshot, click the Details tab, and then view the Snapshot Set field. For
information about snapshot sets, see the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide. HP recommends that
you keep or delete all snapshots for a volume set. If you need to roll back to a snapshot, you want
to roll back each volume in the volume set to its corresponding snapshot. The system gives you the
option to automatically delete or roll back all associated volumes.
1. Log in to the management group that contains the remote snapshot.
2. Select the remote snapshot in the navigation window.
3. Click Snapshot Tasks, and then select Delete Snapshot from the menu.
