Protection Manager shows failed SnapMirror update and filer shows the mirror completed successfully

rodrigue — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:57:56 GMT

All,

I have a customer that is using SC 3.6 to create local snapshots and then register the snapshots with PM to perform SnapMirrors and SnapVaults. The Vault is working fine as the secondary is located in the same building. However, as for SnapMirror, Protection Manager is reporting that the SnapMirror Updates are failing (intermittently) and at the same time, from a filer perspective, the updates are completing successfully. It seems as if PM is not receiving API acknowledgement from the DR filer. What could be the reason for this?

Here is what the logs are showing:

Re: Protection Manager shows failed SnapMirror update and filer shows the mirror completed successfully

sivar — Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:41:27 GMT

All you NetApp Storage controllers are configured to use ssh as the protocol (from DFM perspective),

where as the default hostLoginProtocol is set as rsh.

Windows server cannot spawn the rsh command so it reports this error then executes via ssh and succeeds. (this is why your snapmirror updates are successful, but meanwhile, SC is kicked out with a failed message)

If you set your

hostLoginProtocol

rsh

from rsh to ssh - you will not have this SC failures anymore.

hostLoginProtocol

ssh

The way to change this option is

dfm option set hostLoginProtocol=ssh

FYI - This is a global option in DFM

Ok. I will check with my DFM experts.

What I am noticing is the snapmirror update fails exactly after 5 minutes...looks like a timeout setting somewhere.

I will get back to you soon.
