wafl realocate unable with snapshots

[bluezman]

according to netapp, i can not do a reallocate if there are underlying
snapshots, the issue is that the snapshots are for a large (3TB) oracle
db, and will not be rotated off anytime soon.

is there a way around this ?

any ideas ?

The ONTAP 7.3 release family includes a new option for the reallocate
command, the '-p' option. With this option, volumes containing snapshots
can be effectively reallocated:
