yes, we are currently using netapp managed snapshots for backup and recovery.

however after this conversation and other reading on online. specificially this

Automatic ZFS Snapshot Rotation on FreeBSD | Thinking Sysadmin

I've modified that code to the code below:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/bash
# Path to ZFS executable:
ZFS=/usr/sbin/zfs
# Parse arguments:
TARGET=$1
SNAP=$2
COUNT=$3
mount=`$ZFS get -H -o value mountpoint $TARGET`
# Function to display usage:
usage() {
    scriptname=`/usr/bin/basename $0`
    echo "$scriptname: Take and rotate snapshots on a ZFS file system"
    echo
    echo "  Usage:"
    echo "  $scriptname target snap_name count"
    echo
    echo "  target:    ZFS file system to act on"
    echo "  snap_name: Base name for snapshots, to be followed by a '.' and"
    echo "             an integer indicating relative age of the snapshot"
    echo "  count:     Number of snapshots in the snap_name.number format to"
    echo "             keep at one time.  Newest snapshot ends in '.0'."
    echo
    exit
}
# Basic argument checks:
if [ -z $COUNT ] ; then
    usage
fi
if [ ! -z $4 ] ; then
    usage
fi
# Snapshots are number starting at 0; $max_snap is the highest numbered
# snapshot that will be kept.
max_snap=$(($COUNT -1))
# Clean up oldest snapshot:
if [ -d /$mount/.zfs/snapshot/$SNAP.$max_snap ] ; then
    $ZFS destroy -r $TARGET@$SNAP.$max_snap
fi
# Rename existing snapshots:
dest=$max_snap
while [ $dest -gt 0 ] ; do
    src=$(($dest - 1))
    if [ -d /$mount/.zfs/snapshot/$SNAP.$src ] ; then
    $ZFS rename -r $TARGET@$SNAP.$src $TARGET@$SNAP.$dest
    fi
    dest=$(($dest - 1))
done
# Create new snapshot:
$ZFS snapshot -r $TARGET@$SNAP.0

and it appears to be working quite nicely.

NAME

       fcd_disable_mgmt_lun - select whether or not management luns are discovered in the legacy representation of mass storage devices

VALUES

   Failsafe
   Default
   Allowed values
       Enable discovery of management luns for array devices.

       Disable discovery of management luns for array devices.

   Recommended values
DESCRIPTION

       Management  luns  provide  the means to access the control ports of Fibre Channel disk arrays.  They are represented in both the legacy and
       the agile view of storage devices.  The legacy representation of a management lun is typically created under a separate	virtual  extension
       bus node.  The entry for a legacy management lun looks like this:

       On  a  system with a large number of storage devices connected, creation of management luns can result in an insufficient number of virtual
       extension buses for the legacy representation of data luns.  Since the number of extension buses on  a  system  is  limited  to	256,  luns
       requiring  virtual extension buses above 256 will be unusable through legacy device special files.  Disabling the discovery and creation of
       management luns will free up virtual extension buses for use by data luns.

       The default value for this tunable is

   Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
       System administrators who expect to use a large number of storage devices requiring more than 256 extension  buses  through  legacy  device
       special files.

   Restrictions on Changing
       Changes to this tunable take effect immediately.  However, existing management luns will not be removed.

   When Should the Tunable Be Turned On?
       This tunable should be turned on when the system runs out of extension buses for configuring the legacy representation of data luns.

   What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable Off?
       None.

   When Should the Tunable Be Turned Off?
       When the functionality provided by the management lun is desired.

   What Are the Side Effects of Turning the Tunable On?
       Existing management luns in the legacy representation will show up in the state.

   What Other Tunables Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
       None.
