Ignorable errors during transition

05/12/2023 Contributors

You might encounter some ignorable errors during the transition. These errors can occur during the precheck, cabling, import, or commit operation of a copy-free transition project. You must acknowledge these errors before continuing with transition.

When you add any ignorable error category to the copy-free transition project by using the 7-Mode Transition Tool CLI, it means that you have understood the impact of the error. You must rerun the transition operation after ignoring the error. At this time, the blocking error changes to a warning message, and the error is shown as “acknowledged”. You can continue the transition with the warning.

Precheck operation: ignorable error categories

Category When the error is displayed

Category	When the error is displayed
`ignore-source-not-multipath`	7-Mode disk shelves are not in a multipath configuration.
`ignore-target-not-multipath`	Disk shelves in the target cluster nodes are not in a multipath configuration.
`ignore-source-storage-fault`	7-Mode disk shelves have some fault (as displayed in the output of the `storage show fault` command).
`ignore-target-storage-fault`	Disk shelves in the target cluster nodes have some fault (as displayed in the output of the `system node run -node node_name -command storage show fault` command).
ignore-target-port-requirement	Target cluster nodes do not have a sufficient number of ports available to connect the 7-Mode disk shelves.
`ignore-aggr-space-less-than-5-percent`	7-Mode aggregates are out of space because the free space in the 7-Mode aggregates is less than 5% of physical space.
`ignore-aggr-logical-space-more-than-97-percent`	7-Mode aggregates are out of space because the logical space in the aggregate is more than 97% full.
`ignore-aggr-snapshot-spill-more-than-4-percent`	7-Mode aggregates are out of space because Snapshot copies occupy more space than that allocated for the Snapshot copy reserve.
`ignore-aggr-physical-space-more-than-89-percent-and-snapshot-spill`	7-Mode aggregates are out of space because the total used physical space is more than 89% and the Snapshot copies occupy more space than that allocated for the Snapshot copy reserve.
`ignore-volumes-with-file-gurantee`	7-Mode volumes have space guarantee set to `file`, which is not supported in ONTAP.
`ignore-volumes-with-disabled-gurantees`	Space guarantee of volumes is currently disabled due to lack of space in the volumes.
`nfs-qtrees-exported`	Qtree export rules are present in the 7-Mode system. Acknowledging this error means that you have understood the differences in the qtree export rules between Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode and ONTAP. You might have to perform some manual steps after the NFS exports rules are applied by the 7-Mode Transition Tool. 7MTT Precheck 10111 - Transitioning 7-Mode volumes that have qtree-level exports
