Applies to
- ONTAP 9.8
- All-Flash Fas (AFF)
Issue

- An initial SnapMirror transfer fails with error after transferring some amount of data:
Transfer failed. (Checksum mismatch(Replication engine error))
- There are no issues on the network as described in the below KB
SnapMirror transfers fail with checksum mismatch or unmarshal errors
- On the destination cluster transfer fails after 8 retries (default value for SnapMirror Policies). Each retry, some amount of data has been transferred to the destination
- SnapMirror audit logs (
/etc/log/snapmirror_audit) indicate the following
