  • The Snapshot mentioned in the error message was the parent / backing Snapshot for a FlexClone volume which was created from the source volume mentioned in the error message.
  • The Snapshot mentioned in the error message, as well as the FlexClone volume created from it, are already deleted from the source.
  • The FlexClone volume was created / managed in one of the three following methods:
    1. The FlexClone volume was created with -vserver-dr-protection set to "protected".
    2. The FlexClone volume was created with -vserver-dr-protection set to "protected" and was later changed to "unprotected".
    3. The FlexClone volume was created with -vserver-dr-protection set to "unprotected" but some FlexClone volume parameter was modified with a volume modify command. It does not matter what was modified.
