                    Last Transfer Error: Transfer for volume "FG1" failed. Reason: FlexGroup volume "FG1" in Vserver "nv198891007" on the SVMDR source cluster has source relationship information for a relationship that no longer exists. Release the relationship on the source cluster using the "snapmirror release -destination-path nv198891007-dr:f98140 -relationship-info-only true" command, and then try the operation again.

Execute "snapmirror show -destination-vserver nv198891007-dr -fields last-transfer-error,unhealthy-reason -expand" to check if the constituent volumes have encountered errors.
