Applies to

  • ONTAP Tools for VMware vSphere 9.8
  • ONTAP Tools for VMware vSphere 9.10
  • Synchronous Snapmirror (SM-S)

Issue

When performing a testFailover operation with "Replicate recent changes" checked for volumes protected with a synchronous SM-S relationship:

  • SRA (Storage Replication Adapter) does not issue a snapmirror update as we are working with SM-S relationships
  • SRA creates a flexclone for the protected destination volume however the flexclone is based on a snapshot created by the snapmirror schedule
  • As a result, the flexclone created on the DR side will not have the latest virtual machine (VM) data.
