  • Dump to null fails at phase 3.
  • A new WAFL inconsistent error is triggered on the fileid:4201 at  VBN 39945885441 but for a new snapshot ID on the volume vol1 every time dump to null is run. 
  • This volume was previously DP and now the source cluster is decommissioned. 
  • "volume file show-inode" command throws the following error 

::*> volume file show-inode -vserver svm -volume vol1 -inode-number 4201
    Error: show failed: Unable to get inode information for inode "4201" in volume "vol1" in vserver "svm". Reason: The parent info is missing, it has to yet be loaded.
