Snapmirror abort with idle check point 31 TB

Naveenkumarp22 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 22:09:09 GMT

Hi All,

I am migrating a volume from FAS01 to FAS02. I have initialize the transfer. The initial transfer is still running. I have aborted the initial transfer of snapmirror. It showed me the status as Idle with check point 31 TB. I have aborted it due some space constraint. Later i have resolved the space issue and started the initial transfer. It should start from 31 TB, but it has started from 15 TB. Actually i have asked my colleague to initialize the replication. I have gone through logs to check what are the commands ran by him.

He ran the below commands :

Wed Feb 3 20:33:07 PST [SC-NAS-02: telnet_0:debug]: root@[10.208.34.136_59232]:IN:ssh2 shell:snapmirror resume SC-NAS-02:/vol/VUSGLSAN01_FS3/VCSBackups

Wed Feb 3 20:33:35 PST [SC-NAS-02: telnet_0:debug]: root@[10.208.34.136_59232]:IN:ssh2 shell:df -Ag

Wed Feb 3 20:34:04 PST [SC-NAS-02: telnet_0:debug]: root@[10.208.34.136_59232]:IN:ssh2 shell:snapmirror status
Wed Feb 3 20:34:28 PST [SC-NAS-02: telnet_0:debug]: root@[10.208.34.136_59232]:IN:ssh2 shell:snapmirror status

I don't know why this is happened. I have done this before, that time everything went smoothly. I

Can anyone please suggest me why it is happened...?

Snapmirror replication type is QSM.

VUS-GLSAN-01:/vol/FS3/VCSBackups SC-NAS-02:/vol/VUSGLSAN01_FS3/VCSBackups Uninitialized - Idle with restart checkpoint (at 31 TB)

Current status:

Snapmirror is on.
