Ontap 9.11.1 SIMULATOR: SVM migrate fails to bring the SVM back to the original Cluster

Hi.

After a successful migration from cluster netapp to cluster netapp_dr , we tried to migrate the svm back to the original node.

Command used:

vserver migrate start -vserver svm0_site1_nfs_2 -source-cluster netapp-dr

Several attempts made and even tried to rename de SVM. Always fails the same way: Reason: Configuration replication service is not active.

Reason: Failed when polling for the migrate operation completion for Vserver "svm0_site1_nfs_2". Reason: Config replication service error on cluster "local". Reason: Configuration replication service is not active. To resume the Vserver migrate from where it left off use the "vserver migrate resume" command. To try the Vserver migrate again from the beginning, you must first abort the Vserver migrate operation using "vserver migrate abort" command and then start the Vserver migrate operation again using the "vserver migrate start" command.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Every node in the cluster must have a data aggregate

the cluster replication service will create the MDV_CRS volumes, one per controller per cluster
