Configuration: Premium Feature—Snapshot Virtual Disks

Disable a snapshot virtual disk if one of the following conditions exists:

• You do not need the snapshot now. 
• You intend to re-create the snapshot at a later time and want to retain the 

associated snapshot repository virtual disk so that you do not need to 

create it again. 

• You want to maximize storage array performance by stopping copy-on-

write activity to the snapshot repository virtual disk.

If you do not intend to re-create the snapshot virtual disk at a later time, in 

the Logical pane, select the snapshot virtual disk, and select Virtual Disk



Delete 

to remove it. The associated snapshot repository virtual disk is also removed. Refer 

to the PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager online help topics for more 

information on removing a snapshot virtual disk. 

The SMdevices utility displays the snapshot virtual disk in its output, even 

after the snapshot virtual disk is disabled.

To disable a snapshot virtual disk:

1 In the AMW, select the Logical tab, select the snapshot virtual disk, and 

select 

Virtual Disk Snapshot Disable.

2 In the text box, type yes and click OK.

The snapshot virtual disk is disabled. The associated snapshot repository 

virtual disk does not change status. The copy-on-write activity to the 

snapshot repository virtual disk stops until the snapshot virtual disk is re-

created.
