Snap Creator Snap Mirror Relationship SCF-00017

TIMOTHY_P_LANE — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:45:08 GMT

I created a configuration to snap to snap mirror a lun. The snap mirror relationship was precreated and added to the SC Configuration. When we run the job we get a SCF-00017 Error.

Attached is the debug log. Please ignore the CACHE errors as the DB software has not been installed yet.

Re: Snap Creator Snap Mirror Relationship SCF-00017

Tim,

You mention that the SnapMirror relationship was already created - was it also initialized?

I've hit a similar error before.

ONTAP is very particular about using the proper case.

In the error message I see:

<event-message>SNAPCREATOR SCF-00017: No Snapmirror Relationship for [prinetaappc2]:[fc_lun_epic_aix_poc_mksys_b_1] exist! Exiting(Config: EPIC_CACHE_POC Name: EPIC_POC_CACHE Policy: daily)</event-message>

Confirm that in the config file that the volume names are EXACTLY what ONTAP has - If you have Prinetaappc2 and ONTAP has prinetaappc2 then the command will fail.

(Click the config file the check the Connections & Volumes tab and see what the settings are)

Thanks!

John

John,

The snapmirror relationship was initialized.

The case on all of the controllers and volumes are correct.

How does SC identify the snapmirror relationship? Does the destination volume need to have the same name as the source volume? Or can they be different?

Thanks

Tim
