What is using my Snapshot Space (3.27TB Missing)?
I seem to have lost 3.27TB of space on my SAN and I cannot figure it out.
I'll keep it simple for now:
3TB volume, thin provisioned, 2.34TB in use.
Snapshot space is set to 150%.
3.27TB Snapshot space in use.
Number of snapshots = '0'
My question is - what could be using this space (see screenshot)?
I use VEEAM for backups of the Servers within this volume, but nothing is currently running.
I cannot delete snapshots, as there aren't any - I can create new snapshots fine and delte those, but this chunk of space remains.
No Events found!

Thanks for coming back so quick.
I will open a ticket for the script to remove the hidden snapshots - hopefully that'll free up the space.
With regards to preventing it in future, I still don;t know for sure it is VEEAM causing them. Assuming it is, I have 2 backup jobs that backup servers on the affected volume, and each job backs up multiple servers. Would I have to somehow run this command on each of the backup up servers?

About that script to remove the 'Hidden' snapshots - How do I go about raising a ticket?

We have this issue too.
Does upgrading fw to 9.0 and HIT to 4.9 delete those hiden snapshots, or do we still need that script?

Dell managed to delete my ghost snapshots and recomended I upgrade to FW 7.1.12 or above, and HIT 4.9 to prevent it happening again - they still needed to run the script though, which seems to indicate the scripts are needed to resolve, and the upgrade to prevent.

Thank you. So I should upgrade all the things first and then call support.
