vfiler dr resync failing

[#1]

Hi,

I'm trying to perform vfiler dr resync from one filer to other filer. But didn't success, getting below error. I initially did vfiler dr configure on destination filer (netapp-02) and it got successfull. i've added some data and now i'm trying to syncing the data from destination (netapp-02) filer to source (netapp-01) filer.

netapp-01> vfiler status

vfiler0                          running

vf-test                          stopped

netapp-01> vfiler dr resync vf-test@netapp-02

Hi Phani,

Once you do the vfiler dr configure, the vfiler is active on the destination and all its entities are migrated too.

on the source filer you need to clean up the RC file and resync it, if not you will also duplicate IP's or conflicting IP's. Check the RC files on the source and destination, correct them, you should be goood to go.

thank you,

Can you manually "snapmirror resync" one of the volumes?  dr resync does that for all the volumes in the vfiler in the background so that would be a good test for snapmirror.access.  Also, you don't have "-c secure" listed in the syntax so it will use rsh instead of ssh and you need rsh enabled to run the command as you have above.

Hello Phani,

Please share the volume status from the source and destinations filers.

[#5]

try doing a snapmirror resyc of the individual volume (and if that works break it again)

I'd be suspecting that src_vol on netapp-01 has got a snapshot that can't be deleted automatically, so a snap list of src_vol on each filer would show the difference.

Hi,

Tried both vfiler dr resync and snapmirror resync commands, getting the same error mentioned below.

options snapmirror.access has permissions on both sides?  It may have been set up one way only..

[#8]

No. kept snapmirror.access was set to "all" on both source and destination filers.

netapp-01> options snapmirror

snapmirror.access            all

netapp-02> options snapmirror

snapmirror.access            all

[#9]

Snap list output from both controllers for that specific volume?

Can you check the value in snapmirror.allow file in etc on the source filer?
