Snapmirror "base snapshot for transfer no longer exists on the source"

DAVINCI91 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:49:20 GMT

Hello,

I have got a problem on my filer ;(

One of my snapmirror relationship doesn´t work anymore.

I deleted two snapshots on the destiantion because the volume was

growing more and more. At least it was bigger then the source volume.

I thought it might be a good idea to delete two snapshots. The result

of that stupid idea is:

base snapshot for transfer no longer exists on the source

It is a Snap Mirror qtree type

Any idea to solve that problem?

Greetings, Chris

Hi Davinci91,

Refer this thread

This document explains how to troubleshoot the snapmirror issues

You can refer this document to know whether snapshot is of qtree or normal one
