Remove Snapshots of Several HPE Nimble Storage Volumes

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

$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

Perform the following steps:

Get the volume snapshots you want to remove.
- Run the Get-NimbleHost cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $storage variable.
- Run the Get-NimbleVolume cmdlet. Set the $storage variable as the Host parameter value. Save each volume to a separate variable: $volume1, $volume2, etc.
- Run the Get-NimbleSnapshot cmdlet. Set the $volume1 and $volume2 variables as the Volume parameter values. Save the result to the $snapshot variable.
Run the Remove-NimbleSnapshot cmdlet. Set the $snapshot variable as the Snapshot parameter value.
