Issue

  • Cannot do any modification on the system because of missing MDV_CRS volumes
  • Creating a volume fails with an error:
 
Failed to create the volume on node "node_name". Reason: The MetroCluster or Vserver DR Configuration Replication Service is recovering. Issue the "metrocluster check config-replication show -instance" command or the "snapmirror config-replication status show" command and follow its guidance. If there is no guidance, wait a few minutes and then try the command again.
 
  • On SnapMirror destination cluster, SnapMirror relationship does not exist, but the source is trying to update MDV_CRS which does not exist
  • snapmirror config-replication status show reports error:
