We need to terminate a clone session for the storage group named "DATA" in the Unisphere for PowerMax simulator.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this, based on typical Unisphere functionality and the context of the question:

Steps:

1. Launch the Simulator and Navigate to the TimeFinder/Clone Section

Open Unisphere for PowerMax in your web browser.

Log in to the simulator (you should already be logged in with the array SID 1762 selected, based on the provided image).

In the left-hand navigation pane, locate the section related to TimeFinder operations. This is usually found under:

Data Protection

Local Protection

TimeFinder

Expand the relevant sections and click onTimeFinder SnapVXorTimeFinder Clone(the exact wording might vary slightly in the simulator). The goal is to get to the view where you can manage clone sessions.

2. Locate the Clone Session for the "DATA" Storage Group

The TimeFinder/Clone view will display a list of existing clone sessions.

You need to find the session associated with the "DATA" storage group. Look for the following:

Storage Group Name:The "DATA" storage group should be listed as the source of the clone session.

Session Type/Mode:Verify that it's a Clone session (not a SnapVX snapshot or another type of session).

3. Select the Clone Session

Once you've found the correct clone session for the "DATA" storage group, select it.

You can usually do this by:

Clicking a checkbox next to the session.

Clicking on the session itself (if the interface allows it).

4. Terminate the Clone Session

After selecting the clone session, look for an action button or menu option to terminate it. This might be labeled:

"Terminate"

"Delete"

"Remove"

"Fracture"(in some older versions)

"Stop"

Click the appropriate button to initiate the termination process.

Confirmation:You will likely be prompted with a confirmation message to ensure you want to terminate the selected clone session. Verify that you have selected the correct session (the one for the "DATA" storage group) and confirm the termination.

Step by Step Comprehensive Detailed Explanation:

TimeFinder SnapVX snapshots in PowerMax can be configured with a time-to-live (TTL) setting. This setting automatically deletes the snapshot after the specified time period has elapsed. However, there are certain situations where a snapshot might persist beyond its TTL:

Linked Targets:If a snapshot has one or more linked targets associated with it, the snapshot will not be automatically deleted even if the TTL expires. This is because the linked targets depend on the snapshot for their data. The snapshot will remain available until all linked targets are deleted or unlinked.

Why other options are incorrect:

B. Snapshot was not manually terminated:The TTL setting is designed to automatically delete the snapshot; manual termination is not required.

C. Snapshot was created in NoCopy mode:The NoCopy mode affects how the snapshot is initially created, not its TTL behavior.

D. Reserved Capacity limit was exceeded:The Reserved Capacity limit applies to the overall storage space used by snapshots, not the TTL of individual snapshots.
