[gpfsug-discuss] Bit of a rant about snapshot command syntax changes

[Sobey, Richard A]

Thanks Marc.

Regrettably in this case, the only way I knew to delete a snapshot (listed below) has broken going from 3.5 to 4.2.1. Creating snaps has suffered the same fate.

I think at least the most popular old forms still work, even if the documentation and usage messages were scrubbed.
So generally, for example, neither your scripts nor your fingers will break. ;-)

Why was mmdelsnapshot (and possibly other snapshot related commands) changed from:

Mmdelsnapshot device snapshotname –j filesetname

TO

Mmdelsnapshot device filesetname:snapshotname

..between 4.2.0 and 4.2.1?

It’s mildly irritating to say the least!
