Ansible Backup implementation for EPIC Application running on AFF300

Hello Netapp Gurus

For last 2 weeks every monday we have been noticing the backup is failing with below error

Error creating snapshot epic-20231010000246: NetApp API failed. Reason - 307:Failed to create snapshot \"epic-20231010000246\" of volume \"####\" on Vserver \"####\". Reason: Snapshot operation not allowed due to clones backed by snapshots. Try again after sometime.

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: netapp_lib.api.zapi.zapi.NaApiError: NetApp API failed. Reason - 307:Failed to create snapshot "epic-20231010000246"of volume "#### on Vserver "####". Reason: Snapshot operation not allowed due to clones backed by snapshots. Try again after sometime.
fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Error creating snapshot epic-20231010000246: NetApp API

failed. Reason - 307:Failed to create snapshot \"epic-20231010000246\" of volume \"####\" on Vserver \"####\". Reason:Snapshot operation not allowed due to clones backed by snapshots. Try again after sometime. "}

The snapshot is scheduled to run at 2:00 and 22:00 hrs. The 2:00 snapshot failed to execute with above error.

The application team had to execute a manual backup at 8:00 hrs which was successful.

I need to identify why the snapshot is failing with this error. Unfortunately I am not able to find it in Ontap and Ansible logs.

Any leads? I raised a case with Netapp but was asked to post the question here.

AFF300::> snapshot show -volume #### -fields owners,busy,create-time

vserver volume snapshot create-time busy owners
