Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • SnapMirror intialize/update

Answer

  • By default, SnapMirror retries 7 times AFTER the initial attempt starts (a total of 8 tries), if needed
  • If an error occurs during the transfer, the SnapMirror instance will be retried after waiting for 1 minute 
    • The wait time between retries is 1 minute
    • During the wait period, intermittent issues like network errors might disappear or allow for corrective action, so that the job can succeed in the subsequent retry
