The snap unmount command

The snap unmount command disconnects a Snapshot copy of a LUN that is mounted as a LUN.

Note: You must make sure that the LUN whose Snapshot copy you are disconnecting is not being monitored with the Windows Performance Monitor (perfmon).

Syntax for this command is:

sdcli snap unmount [-m MachineName] -d MountPoint [-f]

Attention: The -f argument forcibly unmounts the LUN, even if it is in use by an application or Windows. Such a forced operation could cause data loss, so use it with extreme caution.

Example

sdcli snap unmount -d k

The preceding example disconnects the Snapshot copy mapped to K: on the local host.

sdcli snap unmount -d k -f

The preceding example forces disconnection of the Snapshot copy mapped to the K: drive on the local host.
