Need your help for the following snapmirror error?

[JAFFERALI86]

Hi All,

I have a client who is using snapmirror for a long time. He increased the space in the source volume without increasing the destination volume and the snapmirror status becomes "Unknown". Now he deleted the volume from the destination and created a new volume as same as the source. But when he did a snapmirror initialize he is getting the following error.

snapmirror status

Snapmirror is on.

Source Destination State Lag        Status

sourcebox1:NSG2_Shared DESTINATIONBOX1:DR_NSG2_Shared Unknown        4493:23:26  Pending with restart checkpoint (at 649 GB)

sourcebox1:Pthecus DESTINATIONBOX1:DR_SGCPthecus Snapmirrored   13:43:39   Idle

sourcebox1:test1 DESTINATIONBOX1:test2 Broken-off     8226:41:16  Idle

Hi Pawar,

I did follow this before. Now the status is uninitialized. I will wait until it sync to the source and I will let you know.

Thanks and Regards,
