reestablishing a snapmirror after deleting snapshot

BrianSSPC — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:53:03 GMT

I had to delete the snapshot prior to the snapmirror process running. Now I'm getting an error of "No common Snapshot copy found between SSPC_SVM:SSPCVol1 and DR_SSPC:SSPCVol1_1_dst."

Is there a way to restart this process or do I have start from scratch on the relationship?

I have not broken the relationship.

Without "common" snapshot between the source & destination volume, SnapMirror update is impossible. It doesn't mater whether the relationship is broken or not, you will need to start from the scratch.
