The snapmirror delete command removes the SnapMirror relationship between a source endpoint and a destination endpoint. The destination endpoint can be a Vserver, a volume, or a non-Data ONTAP endpoint. The Vservers, volumes and non-Data ONTAP destinations are not destroyed and Snapshot copies on the volumes are not removed.

For relationships with SolidFire endpoints, the SnapMirror source commands snapmirror release and snapmirror list-destinations are not supported. Therefore, Snapshot copies that are locked by SnapMirror on the source container cannot be cleaned up using the snapmirror release command. If the source container is a Data ONTAP volume, in order to reclaim space captured in the base Snapshot copy on the volume, issue a snapshot delete command specifying the -ignore-owners parameter in diag privilege level.
