Unassign a volume from a snapshot policy

When you unassign volumes from a snapshot policy, the source volume is detached from the snapshot policy and all (unlocked) auto snapshots of the source volume are deleted.

1. On the menu bar, click Protection > Snapshot Policies.
2. In the list of snapshot policies, select the relevant policy, and click More Actions > Unassign Volumes.
3. In the Unassign Volumes from Snapshot Policy dialog box:
   1. To detach the snapshot policy from a volume, select the check box of the relevant volume.
   2. Optionally, to delete auto snapshots of the selected volume, select the Delete related snapshots check box.
4. Click Unassign Policy.
5. In the Unassign Volumes From Snapshot Policy dialog box, click Yes.
   NOTE:If the auto snapshots are locked, they are detached from the snapshot policy, but not deleted. To remove the locked auto snapshots from the system, manually remove the snapshots by navigating to Protection > Snapshots. Select the desired snapshots, and click Delete.
