Abstract: Targetless snapshots that are in use are excluded from discard and exempted from inclusion against a snapshot retention count limit. Snapshots that are linked to a target volume are considered to be in use. Snapshots having a persist attribute set are considered to be in use. Snapshots having an expiration attribute set are considered to be in use until at least the expiration time. Snapshots having an age limit attribute set are considered to be in use until reaching at least the specified age. The snapshot retention count limit can be updated with a command. Other commands discard snapshots created before a specified time or older than a specified age, provided the snapshots are not in use. A terminate all command prompts discard of all snapshots that are not in use.

Abstract: Targetless snapshot schedules are defined by policy objects that include a snap creation interval, maximum snap count, and schedule ID. Multiple schedule IDs can be associated with a single storage object to implement different concurrent targetless snapshot schedules with a single storage object. Multiple storage objects may use the same targetless snapshot schedule independently. Because the targetless snapshot schedules are implemented independently, discard of old snapshots to maintain a snap count for a first storage object does not cause discard of snapshots for a second storage object. Further, discard of old snapshots to maintain a snap count for a first schedule does not cause discard of snapshots for a second schedule applied to the same storage object.

The communication device may transmit the initial message to the further communication device via the antenna in a directional mode if the transmitting power cannot be achieved by the antenna in the omnidirectional mode. In this way, latency for initializing the connection may be reduced and the successful connections are guaranteed at the same time.
