The source volume ran out of disk space and all snaphots were automatically deleted including the snappmirror relationship. It cannot be resynced as there is no common snaphot. The source volume is 1TB in size. I guess the only way to establish the relationship is to run snapmirror initialize. Do I have to restrict the destination volume (vol restrict filer:vol) before the initialize cmd?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:43:17 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Full-Snapmirror-Initialization/m-p/35186#M8338 donaldasgill01 2025-06-05T06:43:17Z Full Snapmirror Initialization https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Full-Snapmirror-Initialization/m-p/35191#M8339 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yes.
