run "snapmirror initialize", but the result is still showing uninitialized

I have gone throug all steps to set up SM LS on the same cluster. However, in the end, when after I run snapmirror initialize-ls-set -source-path n://vs1/vs1_root,

the job got queued, [Job 116] Job is queued: snapmirror initialize-ls-set for source n://vs1/vs1_root.

 

and then "snapmirrow show", the result is still uninitialized.

 

What could go wrong? is this something to do with snapshot or snap reserver configurations? Please shed some light for me.

 

 also when I run "job show", that particular job is not listed there.

 The create relationship must exist before

 

cluster1::> snapmirror create -source-path //vs1/vs1 -destination-path //vs1/vs1_ls_b -type LS [Job 172] Job is queued: snapmirror create the relationship with destination //vs1_ls_b [Job 172] Job succeeded: SnapMirror: done

 

you have to do this for each load sharing volume

 

after this

 

cluster1::> snapmirror initialize-ls-set //vs1/vs1 [Job 175] Job is queued: snapmirror load-share initialize for source //vs1/vs1.

 

here you specify only source path,  rest is taken by from above create relationship

 

try it

"snapmirror create..." command  that you suggested has already been run on both ls1 and ls2 volumes, and it got approved, because if I run it again,
I got a message saying the relationship with the destination already existed.

The following is the list of detailed run-book, step by step commands I used and their outputs. I removed some unrelated display messages. Hope somebody can help me our why SM-LS can not be initialized.

 Do this as exact

 

snapmirror create -source-path //vs1/vs1 -destination-path //vs1/vs1_ls_b -type LS

 

and to initialize

 

snapmirror initialize-ls-set //vs1/vs1

Hi,

 

I am sorry, but your suggested command is not working.  Please let me know what else can I try

 

 

> snapmirror create -source-path //vs1/vs1 -destination-path //vs1/vs1_ls_b -type LS        
Error: command failed: Volume "vs1:vs1_ls_b" not found. (entry doesn't exist)

 

 

the volume "vs1_ls_b" should be "vs1_root_ls3" here, right?

I think, you really meant is the following and I have already tried last time:

 

> snapmirror create -source-path //vs1/vs1_root -destination-path //vs1/vs1_root_ls3 -type LS

Error: command failed: Relationship with destination vs1://vs1/vs1_root_ls3 already exists.

Not Sure if this late reply helps But had a similar issue and this Document helped to resolve the issue.

To add a new mirror to LS set you need to run individual initialize and then it becomes part of ls-set

Hope it helps some one who is struck :)..
