Unable to delete volume - snapmirror in progress

TuvaluAsks — Mon, 24 Jul 2017 19:23:17 GMT

Hi,

I've lately come across this volume that I want to delete on my ClusterMode controller (8.3.1).

Volume is offline. I've tried "volume delete -vserver <SVM> -volume <VOL>" and received the following error:

Command Failed: Volume VOL in vserver SVM is in one or more SnapMirror relationships. You must delete the SnapMirror relationships before you can delete this volume.

However, there are no snapmirror relationships connected to this volume. I've checked it with "snapmirror list-destination -source-path SVM:VOL" and "snapmirror show -source-path SVM:VOL" and the output for both is There are no entries matching your query.

How can I delete my volume with nonexistent snapmirror relationships?

You mentioned that the volume is offline and that the command error says there are SnapMirror relationships
