Can't remove a snapmirror relationship.

This is really bugging me (it looks untidy 🙂 ) and is only affecting 2 relationships out of 15 we have so far altered.

We are migrating data from one aggr to another on the source, we have changed the snapmirror source on the destination filer but we can't get rid of the old snapmirror relationship from showing still on the source, as below..

snapmirror status

...

panna01:vol_esx03      PANNADR01:vol_esx03DR      Source         148:23:47  Idle

panna01:vol_esx03_64   PANNADR01:vol_esx03DR      Source         00:23:47   Idle

...

No old snaps exist. Contained old LUNS are offline but old volume is online.

panna01> snap list vol_esx03
Volume vol_esx03
working...

No snapshots exist.

panna01> snap list vol_esx03_64
Volume vol_esx03_64
working...

PANNADR01> snap list vol_esx03DR

Only one relevent entry in either snapmirror.conf and that is on PANNADR01..

 

panna01:vol_esx03_64 PANNADR01:vol_esx03DR - 10 * * *


Any ideas anyone?

Okay, sorry for the tardy reply.

Yep I tried every snapmirror command under the sun, no difference. NetApp came back that it needed a registry hack and a reboot. They were going to escalate it to the next level and I am still waiting for them to come back to me 5 days later.

I had already offlined the luns and volumes but it would appear when I got around to destroying the volumes the relationships disappeared which is good.

All back to normal and no hack or reboot.

Thanks for the advice all.
