    <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a snapshot that the SAN is saying is corrupted. I'm trying to delete it, but no go. I used "delete all" from within the VI client, to no avail. I tried to then consolidate the snapshot, but it failed because of file corruption. I don't care to save the data, I just want the corrupted file gone.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="markup"&gt;/vmfs/volumes/dd362778-b976554f/ICS LibreNMS # vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.get 24
