Deleting A Consistency Group
This command deletes a snapshot consistency group. You can either delete both the consistency group
and the repository virtual disks contained by the consistency group, or you can delete only the
consistency group and leave the repository virtual disks contained in the consistency group intact.
delete consistencyGroup [consistencyGroupName [deleteRepositoryMembers=(TRUE |
and the repository virtual disks contained by the consistency group, or you can delete only the
consistency group and leave the repository virtual disks contained in the consistency group intact.
delete consistencyGroup [consistencyGroupName [deleteRepositoryMembers=(TRUE |
FALSE)]]
To delete the consistency group and the repository virtual disks, set the deleteRepositoryMembers
parameter to TRUE. To retain the repository virtual disks, set this parameter to FALSE. The default setting
is FALSE.

parameter to TRUE. To retain the repository virtual disks, set this parameter to FALSE. The default setting
is FALSE.
Once completed, this command:
• Deletes all existing snapshot images and snapshot virtual disks from the consistency group.
• Deletes all the associated snapshot images and snapshot virtual disks for each member virtual disk in
• Deletes all the associated snapshot images and snapshot virtual disks for each member virtual disk in
the consistency group.
• Deletes all associated repositories for each member virtual disk in the consistency group (if selected).
Setting Consistency Group Attributes
To change or set the properties for a snapshot consistency group, use the set consistencyGroup
command:
set consistencyGroup ["consistencyGroupName"] [userLabel="consistencyGroupName"
command:
set consistencyGroup ["consistencyGroupName"] [userLabel="consistencyGroupName"
| repositoryFullPolicy=(failBaseWrites | purgeSnapImages)|
repositoryFullLimit=percentValue| autoDeleteLimit=numberOfSnapImages|
rollbackPriority=(lowest | low | medium | high | highest)]
The repositoryFullPolicy parameter determines how you want snapshot processing to continue if
the snapshot repository virtual disks are full. You can choose to fail writes to the base virtual disk
(failBaseWrites) or delete (purgeSnapImages) the snapshot images. The default action is to delete
the images.

(failBaseWrites) or delete (purgeSnapImages) the snapshot images. The default action is to delete
the images.
The repositoryFullLimit controls the percentage of repository capacity at which you receive a
warning that the snapshot repository virtual disk is nearing full. Use integer values. autoDeleteLimit
configures the automatic deletion thresholds of snapshot images to keep the total number of snapshot
images in the snapshot group at or below a designated level. When this option is enabled, then any time a
new snapshot image is created in the snapshot group, the system automatically deletes the oldest
snapshot image in the group to comply with the limit value. This action frees repository capacity so it can
be used to satisfy ongoing copy-on-write requirements for the remaining snapshot images.

The rollBackPriority parameter sets priority level for a consistency group rollback in an operational
storage array.
storage array.
For example, use this command on a consistency group named CGGroup_1:
set consistencyGroup ["CGGroup_1"] autoDeleteLimit=6 rollbackPriority=low;
set consistencyGroup ["CGGroup_1"] autoDeleteLimit=6 rollbackPriority=low;
Valid values are highest, high, medium, low, or lowest. The rollback priority defines the amount of
system resources that should be allocated to the rollback operation at the expense of system
performance. A value of high indicates that the rollback operation is prioritized over all other host I/O.
Lower values indicate that the rollback operation should be performed with minimal impact to host I/O.
