Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

Discards a created or activated snapshot.

For the TERMINATE command to function properly, no target devices can be linked to the snapshot, unless AUTO_UNLink is specified.

When AUTO_UNLink is specified, SnapVX unlinks all target devices from the snapshot.

The TERMINATE command does not terminate TimeFinder/Clone hardlinked snapshots.
