Vfiler units in Netapp Management(Protection Manager) Console shows old volumes

kennethostnes — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:43:32 GMT

We used snapmirror to copy all data from old_volume in old_aggr to new_volume and new_aggr on an Netapp. Broke the mirror and put the new_volume online as the new data volume for our Vfiler.
Everything is up and running and shows correctly in Filerview and CLI. But in protection manager under the "Hosts vFiler Units" the paths it still shows old_volume as active for the Vfiler.

How can we change this? The dfm host discover has been run without any change.

It takes 1 hour for DFM to mark-delete an object from its database.If its part of a dataset then DFM never marks it as deleted.

So you may have to remove those volumes from dataset membership so that dfm discovers the new volumes.

Hi,

Thanks Adai.
Yes the Vfiler is a part of a dataset in DFM.
I will raise a case on the problem.
