Is it normal that SnapMirror resync transferred size is more than transferred snapshots delta size?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- SnapMirror XDP
Answer
It is normal that the Total progress size for the amount of data for the SnapMirror resync operation may be more than the snapshot delta size, by using the command snapshot show-delta to calculate the delta size between Transfer snapshot and Newest Snapshot; as the SnapMirror resync operation needs to transfer the Data Warehouse metadata.
Example:
- Use the command
snapmirror show -instanceto check theTotal progressfor the amount of data that has already been transferred for current SnapMirror resync

- Use the command
snapshot show-deltato calculate the delta size between theTransfer snapshotandNewest Snapshotfor the total amount of data that needs to be transferred for current SnapMirror resync
