Which command shows existing snapshots for a specific volume?

• A. vol snapshot show
• B. vol snapshot create
• C. vol snapshot delete
• D. vol snapshot list

Answer: (A)

You’re being tested on how to view existing snapshots for a specific volume. To list the current snapshots on a volume, use vol snapshot show. This command directly queries the volume and returns every snapshot that exists for it, including metadata like the snapshot names and creation times. It’s the straightforward way to see what point-in-time copies are available for recovery or cloning.

The other options perform different actions: vol snapshot create makes a new snapshot, vol snapshot delete removes a snapshot, and vol snapshot list isn’t a valid ONTAP command for listing snapshots.
