Pure Flash Array snapshot delete error

 > purevol destroy TestFA01:volume01.rb2

Error on TestFA01:volume01.rb2: Snapshot can't be destroyed or eradicated. It is replicating or is baseline.


This snapshot was part of replication and not cleaned up properly. So need to use "--replication-snapshot" to force cleanup the snapshot. 

> purevol destroy TestFA01:volume01.rb2 --replication-snapshot


By default, all deleted objects are kept in destroyed bucket for 24 hours, Use eradicate option, if you want to delete the snapshot permanently and reclaim space immediately. 

> purevol eradicate TestFA01:volume01.rb2 --replication-snapshot


Verify snap deletion using "purevol list --snap"

 > purevol list --snap
