Issue

Unable to initialize LS relationship for newly added DP volumes on new nodes.

In LS mirror, snapmirror initialize-ls-set command fails to initialize the newly added destination volumes.

Example:

Source volume: flcvs1_root

Destination volume: flcvs1_a1, flcvs1_a2

volumes flcvs1_a1 and flcvs1_a2 are already part of LS mirror.

New DP Volumes flcvs1_a5, flcvs1_a6 is created on newly added node Node5 and Node6.

When tried to initialize LS mirror using command snapmirror initialize-ls-set it remains unitialized for newly added volumes as below:

frp-ntap1::> snapmirror initialize-ls-set -source-path flc-vs1:flcvs1_root
[Job 38381] Job is queued:snapmirror initialize-ls-set for source "flc-netap1://flc-vs1/flcvs1_root".

In audit log it shows that snapmirror is already initialized for volume flcvs1_a1, flcvs1_a2 and it doesnot consider new dp volumes flcvs1_a5 and flcvs1_a6.
