snapmirror restore fails on AFF system because of compression on the destination volume

srum — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:38:19 GMT

Tried to restore a volume from a snapvault system to the primary system as follows:

pricluster> snapmirror restore -source-path drsvm:snapdemo1_DP -destination-path prisvm:snapdemo1 -source-snapshot snap2

The command failed, the primary volume ended up in a volume of type DP and snapmirror show-history shown:

Additional Information> Failed to start transfer because compression is enabled on destination volume "prisvm:snapdemo1" .

(Failed to start transfer. (Negotiation for using Storage Efficiency optimization failed because there is compression on the destination volume "3cd73296-af17-11ea-80db-00a098fe1a90:sanpdemo1"))

The restore destination is a AFF300 system. ( ONTAP 9.6P3)

snapvault source a fas8200 also ontap 9.6P3

Disabling inline and background compression didn`t change anything.

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Regards
