Workaround
For a manual request failure, retry taking or deleting the snapshot
after a minute or two.
If the request originated from the snapshot scheduler, wait
another cycle or two. If the failure persists, try taking or deleting
the snapshot manually on the same volume.
Check the dashboard if the system is under heavy workload. If the
system is under a heavy workload, wait until the workload
decreases and reissue the snapshot request.
Check the snapshot schedule. A very dense snapshot schedule has
a negative impact on the overall performance of the system. The
accumulated snapshot rate should not exceed 20 snapshots per
hour per system.
Check the total number of snapshots in the system. If the number
is in the thousands, delete a few snapshots and retry.
