I've inherited a NetApp storage environment and have a volume that just WILL NOT delete. I am using Clustered OnTAP8.2.3. I have renamed the volume to 'TO_BE_DELETED'. There are no baseline snapshots nor are there any other snapshots. The volume is not associated with any snapshot policy and is not a part of a SnapMirror/XDP relationship.
When I take the volume 'offline' and attempt to delete the volume I receive the following message:
Error: command failed: Volume "TO_BE_DELETED" in Vserver "svm01" is the source endpoint of one or more SnapMirror relationships. Before you delete the volume, you must
release the source information of the SnapMirror relationships using "snapmirror release". To display the destinations to be used in the "snapmirror release" commands,
use the "snapmirror list-destinations -source-vserver svm01 -source-volume TO_BE_DELETED" command.
I've even tried to move the volume into a new aggregate and have attempted to take the aggregate offline. I now know that this is not possible as the aggregate will not delete with a volume contained within it.
This is a small volume but I am very keen on getting it removed. From the error message above I believe that this volume might have originally been a part of a snapmirror relationship. I look forward to your response.
