Run Command for Snapshot Creation On Solaris Server

Content Authoring
1

Hi Team,

I have written commands to delete and create snapshots on Solaris Server

When I run these commands directly on server then they are working fine but when ran thru bigfix they are failing

Please check and suggest

ZFS snapshot deletion:
zfs list -H -o name -t snapshot |grep rpool |xargs -n1 zfs destroy

zfs snapshot creation :
zfs list -H -o name | grep rpool |egrep -v “dump|export|swap|DUMP|@” |awk ‘{print $1"@b4patch"}’ >t1
cat t1 |xargs -n1 zfs snapshot

Hi

Can you provide the BigFix actionscript you are currently using to run these commands?

HI Strawgate

I am using below script run command

delete /var/opt/BESClient/commands-output.txt
delete appendfile
appendfile #!/bin/bash
appendfile echo “Delete snapshot” >> /var/opt/BESClient/commands-output.txt
appendfile zfs list -H -o name -t snapshot |grep rpool |xargs -n1 zfs destroy >> /var/opt/BESClient/commands-output.txt
appendfile echo “Create snapshot” >> /var/opt/BESClient/commands-output.txt
appendfile zfs list -H -o name | grep rpool |egrep -v “dump|export|swap|DUMP|@” |awk ‘{print $1"@b4patch"}’ >t1 >> /var/opt/BESClient/commands-output.txt
move __appendfile myscript.sh
run chmod 777 myscript.sh
wait bash myscript.sh
delete myscript.sh

What are the results of the commands (written to in commands-output.txt)?

When it fails what errors or conditions that result?

From the documentation: (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/6n7ht6r4f/):

A dataset cannot be destroyed if snapshots of the dataset exist. For example:

# zfs destroy tank/home/ahrens
cannot destroy 'tank/home/ahrens': filesystem has children
use '-r' to destroy the following datasets:
tank/home/ahrens@tuesday
tank/home/ahrens@wednesday
tank/home/ahrens@thursday
In addition, if clones have been created from a snapshot, then they must be destroyed before the snapshot can be destroyed.

For more information about the destroy subcommand, see Destroying a ZFS File System.
