Hi Rainer,

          The event basically means that a relationship which was already known to dfm and later got broken or deleted got rediscovered. Thats what it means.

To generate this event you can do the following.

1. Create a snapmirror relationship (using either ProtMgr or BCO). 
2. Delete the relationship using "dfdrm mirror break" and "dfdrm mirror delete". 
3. Re-establish the relationship from the ONTAP CLI using "snapmirror initialize". 
4. Re-discover the relationship by refreshing the source and destination host monitors. 
5. Now, run "dfm report view events-history <dest-obj-name>" where "dest-obj-name" is destination volume or qtree name.

If you are not doing step 2 or 3 and you are encountering this event could be due to a unreliable monitoring due to network issues or SNMP timeouts between dfm and your controllers.
