Issue

  • Metadata volume is not available on cluster appears when ONTAP performs SnapMirror initialization

                     Last Transfer Type: initialize
                    Last Transfer Error: Metadata volume is not available on cluster "source". Run "snapmirror config-replication status show" for more details.
Execute "snapmirror show -destination-vserver vserver1_bk -fields last-transfer-error,unhealthy-reason -expand" to check if the constituent volumes have encountered errors.
