  • SnapMirror

Answer

Without considering the snapshot has not been transferred, there are still several reasons:

  • Snapshot Differences:
    • The number and content of snapshots on the source and destination volumes may differ, leading to capacity discrepancies.
  • Deduplication and Compression Settings:
    • Differences in deduplication and compression settings between the source and destination volumes can result in capacity variations.
