Is the SnapMirror still transferring? How long does this normally take?

It would likely be a WAN bottleneck or other network/loss issue, or a system bottleneck on primary or secondary more than likely. The only other thing I could think of would be an unusually high change rate.

It may be easier to open a case, especially if this is urgent and you have entitlements.

thank you for your reply.

I agree maybe a system bottleneck on primary or secondary .

The service of my netapp has expired , so unable to open a case.

below is the more description:

1.the status of busy is not stop ,unless make a manual sync or automatic sync backup

2. then the busy one will transfer and finished quickly.

3. the new sync will again go to a busy status.

it's like a cycle...

I try to delete the snapshot ,but it is failed to delete. due to the snap in use.

Hmm. Have you looked at a snap show -v to see more info? Maybe a wafl scan status at node level and see what scans are running?
