SC - unable to drag a volume into SnapMirror pane

Hello,

I am trying to perform cascading and I got the snapshot to be taken on the primary then SV to the secondary. Lastly, I want to perform a SM from the secondary to the DR site. When I try to add the secondary NetApp storage volume (the source volume), it won't let me drag it over to the SnapMirror window.

The SnapMirror relationship is already setup between the source and destination:

Source:

ascnetapp1> snapmirror status

Snapmirror is on.

Source                Destination           State          Lag        Status

ascnetapp1:SC_ISO     ascnetapp2:SC_ISO_SM  Source         01:25:28   Idle

Destination:

ascnetapp2> snapmirror status

Snapmirror is on.

Source                Destination           State          Lag        Status

ascnetapp1:SC_ISO     ascnetapp2:SC_ISO_SM  Snapmirrored   01:26:02   Idle

ascnetapp2>

Thanks! Got it to work.

Had to edit the NTAP_SNAPMIRROR_UPDATE=N, then manually edit the cascading field. The cascading storage system should be the SnapMirror source/volume. Funny enough, when you make these edits and reload the config, it does not show this information under "Volumes" tab.
