Hi Chinauser,

Do you have a NetApp support account that you can sign into? You have to have an account registered with NetApp Support to be able to fully view KB articles.

Typically with this particular error, it is recommended to increase the memory and attempt to rerun the sync.

Let us know if you have additional questions.

Thanks

Team NetApp

Hi Chinauser,

I would recommend reaching out to our customer support team to open a non-technical case so we can review the permissions to make sure they are setup correctly.

Applicable on XCP Version 1.6.1 and above:
1)   Increase RAM
2)   run sync using "-reduce" option. Sync is expected to finish with errors. Once sync is finished, run subsequent syncs more frequently.
./xcp sync -id <index> -reduce
3)   if sync fails again in above step with memory related errors, then
Increase RAM
   Execute a new base copy of the data
   Execute the sync again
   Schedule the sync in shorter intervals

Applicable on XCP Version 1.6 and below:
1.   Increase RAM
2.   Run sync with “-parallel 0”
./xcp sync -id <index> -parallel 0
3.   If sync failed again with memory errors, then do the following
Increase RAM
   Execute a new base copy of the data
   Execute the sync again
   Schedule the sync in shorter intervals
