Issue

Snapmirror fails with transfer aborted and stuck in transferring status.
 
Snapmirror last transfer error:
 
 
 Transfer for volume "vol1" failed. Reason: Transfer aborted. Execute "snapmirror show -destination-vserver svm1-dr last-transfer-error,unhealthy-reason -expand" to check if the constituent volumes have encountered errors.Scheduled update delayed because another SnapMirror operation is in progress
 
Snapmirror shows very little progress and high lag time:
 

DST::*> snapmirror show -fields ,last-transfer-end-timestamp,lag-time -destination-path *:
source-path destination-path  last-transfer-end-timestamp lag-time
------------------------- --------------------------------- ------------------ -------------svm1:vol1  svm1-dr:vol1:     09/30 12:19:05             429:53:49
