Hi Stephanie Befor this Error happen I have did following Steps: - Because an other Issue, I have removed the Mirror Nodes from the dataset. - Provisioning Manager has made New Mirror Volumes - Because of Bad calculating the Mirror Size the creation of snapmirror Relationsships has failed - Over the Hosts/Aggregate/Manage Space I have resized the Backup Node - After the resizing the Relationship was created successfully, but since Then I Have the Behavior, which I have described above: - Since I have resize The Mirror Node (over the Controller CLI) to a big Value (20TB) the snapmirror update works and only the Resize Error happen: regards Thomas ...

Hi - I would recommend you to install DSM-MPIO also. Since Version 3.5 you dont need anymore the Host Utilities, because DSM MPIO set the recommended Values:      New features in this Host Utilities release      Windows Host Utilities 6.0 includes several new features and support for additional configurations.      Host Utilities 6.0 includes the following changes from 5.3:      •    The Host Utilities are no longer required if the Windows host is running the Data ONTAP DSM      3.5 for Windows MPIO or later. - Best Practise --> http://media.netapp.com/documents/tr-4001.pdf - Snapdrive Dokus --> http://support.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/snapdrive_win/6.4.2/ - I recommend to setup the iscsi sessions/LUNs within snapdrive. The Volumes and the Qtrees you have to create on the Filer (System Manager/CLI). - When you add a shared LUN in a Cluster, snapdrive connect the Disk on both node and create the Cluster Ressource group also (Or add a Disk to a existing Cluster Ressource Group. Only the iscsi Sessions you have to establish on both nodes as First Step. regards Thomas ... View more

Hi All FYI: Since Yesterday we running snapcreator 3.6p1 with oncommand 5.1.

First you have to stop your current Relationship (snapvault stop). This will delete the qtree on the destination System (The qtree will be still available in the snapshots). Then you have to Start the Relationship (New Baseline Transfer) and the qtree will be created and your snapvault for this source qtree is back again.. Regards Thomas ... View more

Hi Nayab It looks like you have loose your snapvault Base snapshot (This snapshot reside on both sides and will be used for snapvault updates or resynchronisation). You have to do a new Baseline (snapvault start)... regards Thomas ... View more

Hi Adai Thanks for your response... Sometimes the Issue happens sometimes not. I think everytime the Backup Node gets resized down, the warning on the Mirror Node comes Back. My last question in this thread is: Where do I open a RFE? Thanks a lot for your explanation Thomas ... View more

Hi Adai I have read a discussion about the hidden option resize_up_only. In my Case set to 1 would be a solution, Because Mirror Node would not try to make snapmirror destination smaller than the source Volumen (because no resize down happen), correct? Are there different Sizing Settings for DSS Backup Node and DSS Mirror Node. When yes I could set different Values to avoid the "smaller than" Issue Regards Thomas ... View more

Hi Adai I know about the DSS feature in 5.1, But the message I see is a warning. Its this warning expected? Server_AllDBs_arch: Could not resize secondary volume Nearstore:/Server_AllDBs_arch_mirror_1 (33160) to 363 GB. The new volume size would be less than that of the replica file system The Problem is, that this warning markes my snapcreator Job Status as yellow (normally green). Can I disable this warning (like the "processHostPrimaryAddress" Option)? I have solved the problem, before you have send me your workaround. So I couldn't test your workaround.. regards Thomas ...
