  • Junction path configured is correct:

::> volume show -vserver <vserver> -volume <volume> -fields junction-path

  • Loadsharing mirrors (LSM) are configured and Data volume is residing on node1 and Root volume of this vserver is residing on other Node.
  • The LS snapmirror status is in quiesced status.

::> snapmirror show -vserver TEST -type LS

  • With regards to Data volume  residing on Node1 and Root volume of the vserver residing on other Node, try to create volume on the Node where the root volume of the vserver is residing.
  • Alternatively, you can proceed with the solution if the data volume and Root volume are residing on the same Node.
