Dell PowerVault MD3260i - Manual (Page 154)

completed successfully for all of the consistency group members, the operation fails and new snapshot images are not
created.
Normally, all members of a snapshot consistency group will have the same number of snapshot images. When you add a
new member to a snapshot consistency group, that new member lacks the snapshot images that were previously
created on the established members of the snapshot consistency group. This is not an error condition. Requests for
deletion or rollback of snapshot images that exist on only a subset of the snapshot consistency group members affects
only those members for which the specified snapshot image actually exists.
