Looks like a typical case of
https://now.netapp.com/Knowledgebase/solutionarea.asp?id=kb16908

If not, check if SIS is active, if the volume has been involved in a
snapmirror/snapvault relation that hasn't been cleaned up right, and
that NDMP isn't keeping snapshots busy.

HTH & HAND!

Maybe you had a clone in the past, new snapshot were created of the volume
and then the clone was deleted?

If this happened, you can check with the following command which snapshots
need to be removed before you delete the locked snapshot.

> lun snap usage account sqlsnap__iraccount_07-10-2009_21.35.04__daily

Didn't say you needed to ;)

Check why the snapshot is busy using lun snap usage, and delete
snapshots (not the LUN!) to free up the busy state. The kb item pretty
much tells you how to do it.

Greetings,

Nils
