The Snapshot create and delete operation fails to remove Snapshot copies on the storage system because the LUNs are busy.
The following error message appears:
0001-124 Admin error: Failed to remove snapshot <snap-name> on filer <filer-name>: LUN clone
You might encounter this error and might not be able to directly delete a Snapshot copy if the following are true:
-
A disk group spans across multiple storage systems.

The following SnapDrive commands are executed in a loop for more than 50 iterations (the number of iterations depends on the host operating system):
-
snapdrive storage create
-
snapdrive snap create
-
snapdrive storage delete
-
snapdrive snap restore
-
snapdrive snap connect
-
snapdrive storage delete
-
snapdrive snap delete
-
At this point, the Snapshot copy status on the storage system shows LUNs-Busy
, and this status prolongs for a few hours.
