Issue

BlueXP Restore Operation fails with:

"Failed to perform restore operation. Relationship with destination SVM:DestVol already exists"

Cause

  • The previous restore request did not finish yet.
  • One Destination volume can only hold one Restore session at a time.
  • Failed or stale RST type relationship was not cleaned after a previous SnapMirror restore.

Solution

  • Wait for the previous restore to finish or create a second destination volume for the second restore operation.
  • When a relationship type RST is visible in snapmirror show, but there is not an active SnapMirror restore, it implies the RST needs to be cleaned up :

cluster::> snapmirror show 
Source          Destination  Mirror       Relationship  Total             Last   
Path       Type Path         State        Status        Progress  Healthy Updated
---------- ---- ------------ ------------ ------------- --------- ------- -------
SM1:vol1   RST  SVM1:Restore Snapmirrored Idle          -         true    -       

​​​​Clean up the stale RST relationship :

Note: Ensure the destination volume is online before running below command.

snapmirror restore -source-path <source path> -destination-path <destination path> -clean-up-failure
