Type DP snapmirror fails with checksum error after ONTAP 9.8 upgrade
Applies to
- ONTAP 9.7
- ONTAP 9.8RC1 - ONTAP 9.8P1
- Type DP SnapMirror
Issue
- After upgrading a SnapMirror destination to ONTAP 9.8RC1, ONTAP 9.8, or ONTAP 9.8P1, type DP snapmirror transfers begin failing with checksum errors:
Transfer for volume [volume name] failed. Reason: Transfer failed. (Checksum mismatch (Replication engine error)) - The SnapMirror source is running ONTAP 9.7 on All-Flash FAS (AFF) and has object packing enabled (default)
- On the snapmirror destination, sktrace logs (
/etc/log/mlog/sktrace.log) containschecksum mismatch for vvbnmessages, correlating to the snapmirror transfer errors - There is no evidence of network issues such as bad TCP checksums or other issues described in SnapMirror transfers fail with checksum mismatch or unmarshal errors
