  • ONTAP 9
  • AFF/FAS systems

Issue

  • After deleting one out of 2 Snapmiror relationships, the space was not reclaimed. 
  • But one of the Snapmirror transfers was stuck in baseline accumulating that reclaimable space due to the WAFL scan hung.
  • As the baseline Snapmirror will be a snapshot of the active file system until the transfer is completed, The size of the snapshots kept increasing that started consuming the data space of the volume (snapshot spill)
