Thanks, The next problem seems to be now, that there was an original snapshot that is no longer there. When I try to snapshot the volume I’m working on, it fails, because it’s looking for an initial snapshot that the database says is still there, but which was actually removed when I removed the other Primary Storage volume. Does that make sense? What do I need to change in the database for that volume to be able to snapshot? Asai
