  • ONTAP 9
  • SnapMirror Sync (SM-S)

Issue

  • Syncronous snapmirror is OutOfSync with below last transferred error.
Last Transfer Error: Failed to configure source. (Failed to re-establish sync usiness Continuity (SMBC) relationship. An Automatic Resync will be triggered soon. Check   snapmirhe state of sync replication)
  • Some other below error messages can also be seen on CG level.
Failed to configure source. (CSM: An operation failed due to an ONC RPC failure.)
 
Failed to configure source. (SnapMirror operation failed due to one of the following: node reboot, storage failover, storage failback, aggregate relocation, volume move or network connectivity issues. If this is a manual operation, wait a few minutes, and then try the operation again.)
  • Cluster peer status between destination to source cluster is in partial/pending state.
destination cluster:
cluster_dst::> cluster peer show

------------------------- --------------------- -------------- --------------
Cluster                   1-80-000011           Pending        ok
  • The cluster peer ping from destination cluster is only reachable to node1 of source cluster, and unreachable to node2 source cluster
