SVM Root Volume Protection Not Updating on Two New Nodes

We just added two nodes to our NetApp cluster, making it a four node cluster. I am trying to expand the SVM root volume protection that I set up previously, following the steps in the SVM Root Volume Protection Express Guide.

 

The problem is: I created the new volumes on nodes 3 and 4 and re-ran the initialize-ls-set command, but it is ignoring the two new nodes. I tried the update-ls-set command to see if that would work, but I'm getting the same results. Does anyone have suggestions?

 

Specifics (for one of the SVMs):


 

volume create -vserver <vserver_name> -volume <vserver_name>_root_ls03 -aggregate <node_3_aggregate> -size 1gb -state online -type DP

volume create -vserver <vserver_name> -volume <vserver_name>_root_ls04 -aggregate <node_4_aggregate> -size 1gb -state online -type DP

snapmirror create -source-path <cluster_name>://<vserver_name>/<vserver_name>_root -destination-path <cluster_name>://<vserver_name>/<vserver_name>_root_ls03 -type LS -schedule 1min

snapmirror create -source-path cithqnacl01p://<vserver_name>/<vserver_name>_root -destination-path <cluster_name>://<vserver_name>/<vserver_name>_root_ls04 -type LS -schedule 1min

snapmirror initialize-ls-set -source-path <cluster_name>://<vserver_name>/<vserver_name>_root

Hi,

 

Do not use the snapmirror initialize-ls-set command. The snapmirror initialize-ls-set command is for initializing volumes for an entire set of load-sharing mirrors, not for initializing an individual volume. Use snapmirror initialize -type ls. Refer https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1368017/html/GUID-FB6C2A65-7744-4AB8-A361-688D11CFDD08.html

One more detail: here is the snapmirror status.

 

Source           Destination Mirror Relationship   Total             Last

Path       Type Path       State   Status         Progress Healthy Updated

----------- ---- ------------ ------- -------------- --------- ------- --------

<cluster_name>://<svm_name>/<svm_name>_root

           LS   <cluster_name>://<svm_name>/<svm_name>_root_ls01

                             Snapmirrored

                                     Idle           -         true   -

                <cluster_name>://<svm_name>/<svm_name>_root_ls02
