Issue

  • A volume became inconsistent, causes unknown,  and needs to be removed as the site is a DR site.
  • When removing the volume, the following error occurs:
 
Error: command failed: Volume "volumeA" in Vserver "svm1" is the source
 
      endpoint of one or more SnapMirror relationships. Before you delete the
       volume, you must release the source
information of the SnapMirror
       relationships using "snapmirror release". To display the destinations to
       be used in the
"snapmirror release" commands, use the "snapmirror
       list-destinations -source-vserver svm1 -source-volume volumeA"
       command.
 
 
  • Additional errors occur when attempting to release the volume:
Error: command failed: Volume "volumeA" in Vserver "svm1" is the source
 
      endpoint of one or more SnapMirror relationships. Before you delete the
       volume, you must release the source
information of the SnapMirror
       relationships using "snapmirror release". To display the destinations to
       be used in the
"snapmirror release" commands, use the "snapmirror
       list-destinations -source-vserver svm1 -source-volume volumeA"
command.
