Issue
Following the conversion of a Snapmirrored FlexVol to a FlexGrop, using procedure, Snapmirror Step 5 snapmirror resync fails with error:
cluster1::> snapmirror show -destination-path svm1:vol1 -fields last-transfer-error
Last Transfer Error: A SnapMirror transfer for the relationship with destination FlexGroup "svm1:vol1" was aborted because the source FlexGroup was expanded. A SnapMirror AutoExpand job with id "139143" was created to expand the destination FlexGroup and to trigger a SnapMirror transfer for the SnapMirror relationship. After the SnapMirror transfer is successful, the "healthy" field of the SnapMirror relationship will be set to "true". The job can be monitored using either the "job show -id 139143" or "job history show -id 139143" commands.
