Example

This example shows how to remove snapshots of several HPE Nimble storage volumes.

You will need to perform the following steps:

  1. Get the volume snapshots you want to remove.
  • Run Get-NimbleHost to get the storage. Save the result to the $storage variable.
  • Run Get-NimbleVolume with the $storage variable to get the storage volumes. Save each volume to a separate variable: $volume1, $volume2, etc.
  • Run Get-NimbleSnapshot with the $volume1 and $volume2 variables. Save the result to the $snapshot variable.
  1. Remove the snapshots. Run Remove-NimbleSnapshot with the $snapshot variable.

$storage = Get-NimbleHost -Name "HPE Nimble-FC"

$volume1 = Get-NimbleVolume -Host $storage -Name "VOL01"

$volume2 = Get-NimbleVolume -Host $storage -Name "VOL02"

$snapshot = Get-NimbleSnapshot -Volume $volume1, $volume2

Remove-NimbleSnapshot -Snapshot $snapshot
