On mid of June, I find the backup jobs was showing failed and warring on dashboard. After view the log, the log were showing the SnapVault relationship for source volume were failed. Also checked destination volumes didn't have the daily snapshot were replicated. May I know how can I do and which way I can solve the problem. Thanks!!

Hey,

"is not healthy" -- please fix the relation and try again.

snapmirror show -destination-volume NETAPP_SBSAN02_vol_sv -fields last-transfer-error

Thanks MaGr for your reply.

I just find the KB about those information, is that related?

Hi Marcus,

thanks for your suggestion. It seems not enough space for destination storage.
