SnapshotIQ license functionality
You can create snapshots only if you activate a SnapshotIQ license on a cluster. However, you can view snapshots and snapshot locks that are created for internal use by OneFS without activating a SnapshotIQ license.
The following table describes what snapshot functionality is available depending on whether the SnapshotIQ license is active:
