Issue

SVM-DR update fails with error:

Transfer for volume "Vol_Name" failed. Reason: The latest Snapshot copy "vserverdr_Snapshot_Name" on the destination is not the base Snapshot copy. Use the "snapmirror resync" command to correct the issue.
 
Execute "snapmirror show -destination-vserver SVM_Name -fields last-transfer-error,unhealthy-reason -expand" to check if the constituent volumes have encountered errors.
 
Upon expanding, you see the below last trasfer error on the constituent volume:-
 
The latest Snapshot copy "vserverdr_Snapshot_Name" on the destination is not the base Snapshot copy. Use the "snapmirror resync" command to correct the issue. 
  • When a SnapMirror relationship is updated (either manually or via a schedule) a new snapshot is created on the Source volume.
  • This snapshot is the most recent snapshot in the volume and will be used as a base snapshot for the transfer.
