NetApp Training Brain Dump: Snap Command

This post will be pretty straightforward: describing the snap command, which is used to manage snapshots in Data ONTAP.  Click here if you need more background on snapshots.  I'll skip the stuff that isn't very useful and put the basics on top: there are more options than I'll go through below but I've done you the favor of leaving out the less useful information.

Basics:
snap create <volume name> <snapshot name>
snap delete <volume name>.  Add -a to delete all snapshots belonging to the volume.

Advanced: Snap Restore
Note: read this if you need help understanding NetApp's command syntax.
snap restore [ -f ] [ -t vol | file ] [ -s snapshot_name ] [ -r restore_as_path ] vol_name | restore_from_path

Informational:

snap list <volume name>.  Add -A to list all snapshots, add -l to show date created and retention policy.

snap delta <volume 1 name> <volume 2 name> . compares two snapshots and tells you the rate of change between them.  Gives some really cool tables.  Add -A to compare all snapshots for this volume.
snap reclaimable <volume name> <snapshot 1 name> <snapshot 2 name> this command can take awhile.  It calculates the amount of space you can get back by deleting the snapshots you list.
snap rename <old snapshot name> <new snapshot name>

Systematic:
snap sched <volume name> <#weekly><#daily> <#hourly> @list.  For each #, replace with an integer.  ONTAP will keep that many snapshots online for that time period.  For the @list, use military time to designate when to take hourly snapshots.  For example, a 2 in the #weekly spot would create two snapshots every Sunday at 24:00.  Daily snapshots are taken at midnight.
snap autodelete. allows the volume to automatically delete snapshots.  The volume will delete them based upon triggers you set.  This gets complicated quickly, involving what kinds of locked snapshots you'll allow to be autodeleted and in what case.
snap reserve <volume name> <%> reserves space for snapshots in the given volume.
