Issue

  • Root volume move is failing with the error:
::> vol move show -volume SVM1_test_root -instance
                           Vserver Name: SVM1_test 
                            Volume Name: SVM1_test_root
                 Actual Completion Time: -
                        Bytes Remaining: -
                  Destination Aggregate: aggr4
                        Detailed Status: Volume move job in setup
Error: Setting up move operation: The volume is involved in a SnapMirror operation and cannot be moved until the SnapMirror operation is complete. Wait for the SnapMirror operation to finish or abort the SnapMirror operation by issuing a 'snapmirror abort -hard true' command.
  • Couldn't perform the abort as there was no snapmirror is running for the volume.
::> snapmirror abort -hard true -source-path SVM1_test _root -destination-path *
(snapmirror abort)
Error: There are no entries matching your query.
 

  • Regular SnapMirror works but the LS SnapMirror for this root volume fails with an invalid destination error. 

::> snapmirror create -source-vserver  -source-volume SVM1_test _root -destination-vserver SVM1_test  -destination-volume SVM1_test _root_LS -type lS
 
Error: command failed: Volume "Cluster1://SVM1_test/SVM1_test _root" not found. (Failed to query transfer status. (Destination is in
an invalid transfer state))
