Snapshot Repository Virtual Disk Capacity - Full

What Caused the Problem?

All of the repository virtual disk's available capacity has been used. The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.

Important Notes

The repository virtual disk's failure policy determines what happens when the snapshot's repository virtual disk becomes full. The failure policy can be set to either fail the snapshot virtual disk (default setting) or fail incoming I/Os to the snapshot's source virtual disk.
If the failure policy is set to fail the snapshot virtual disk, its data is not recoverable and the snapshot virtual disk cannot be accessed. You have the option of deleting the snapshot virtual disk, if it is no longer needed, or re-creating the existing snapshot virtual disk.
If the failure policy is set to fail incoming I/Os to the snapshot's source virtual disk, the snapshot virtual disk can be accessed, but the source virtual disk will continue to fail all incoming I/Os until a new instance of the snapshot virtual disk is re-created or the snapshot virtual disk is deleted.

Recovery Steps

If...	Then...
The snapshot virtual disk associated with this snapshot repository virtual disk is also a source virtual disk in a copy operation and its copy status is Pending or In Progress	Go to the Copy Manager by selecting Virtual Disk >> Copy >> Copy Manager. If you want to keep the data being copied, allow the copy operation to complete before going to step 2. If you do not want to keep the data being copied, highlight the copy pair that contains the snapshot virtual disk and select Copy >> Stop.
The snapshot virtual disk associated with this snapshot repository virtual disk is also a source virtual disk in a copy operation and its copy status is Failed	Highlight the copy pair that contains the snapshot virtual disk and select Copy >> Stop.

Note: If you chose to create a new instance of the snapshot virtual disk as a part of this recovery procedure (see step 3), you can create a new copy with new data by highlighting the copy pair that contains the snapshot virtual disk and selecting Copy >> Re-Copy.

If...	Then...
You want to delete the snapshot virtual disk	Highlight the snapshot virtual disk in the Logical View of the Array Management Window. Then select Virtual Disk >> Delete. Go to step 4.
You DO NOT want to delete the snapshot virtual disk	Go to step 3.

If...

Then...

You wish to create a new instance of the snapshot virtual disk now

Highlight the snapshot virtual disk in the Logical View of the Array Management Window and select Virtual Disk >> Snapshot >> Re-create.

Note: To keep your snapshot virtual disk's repository from becoming full again you should increase its capacity by highlighting it in the Logical View and selecting Virtual Disk >> Increase Capacity.

Go to step 4.

You wish to create an instance of the snapshot virtual disk at a later time

Highlight the snapshot virtual disk in the Logical View of the Array Management Window. Then, select Virtual Disk >> Snapshot >> Disable. When you are ready, you can create a new instance of the snapshot virtual disk by highlighting it in the Logical View and selecting Virtual Disk >> Snapshot >> Re-create.

Note: To keep your snapshot's repository from becoming full again you should increase its capacity by highlighting it in the Logical View and selecting Virtual Disk >> Increase Capacity.

Go to step 4.

Click the Recheck button to rerun the Recovery Guru. The failure should no longer appear in the Summary area. If the failure appears again, contact your technical support representative.
