sm.xfer.fail.del.snap

Severity

ERROR

Description

This message occurs when deletion of a Snapshot(tm) copy on the destination volume fails, and therefore a subsequent transfer exceeds the maximum supported Snapshot copy count for the vault destination.

Corrective Action

Manually delete the Snapshot copies from the destination volume and reissue the failed SnapMirror command.

Syslog Message

Unable to delete Snapshot copy '%s' from destination volume '%s' of the relationship with relationship UUID '%s' to make space for for newer Snapshot copies.

Parameters

snap_name (STRING): Snapshot copy that was not deleted.
dst_path (STRING): Destination volume of the relationship.
relationship_id (STRING): UUID of the snapmirror relationship.

sm.xfer.fail.maxlim.snap

Severity

ALERT

Description

This message occurs when a SnapMirror® transfer fails because the maximum supported Snapshot(tm) copy limit for a SnapMirror destination is reached and there is no space for a new, incoming Snapshot copy.

Corrective Action

Reduce the "keep" count by using the "snapmirror policy modify-rule -policy [policy_name] -keep [keep_count]" command, or by manually deleting Snapshot copies from the SnapMirror® destination.

Syslog Message

The number of Snapshot copies on destination volume '%s' of the relationship with relationship UUID '%s' and policy '%s' has reached the maximum supported.

Parameters

dst_path (STRING): Destination volume of the relationship.
relationship_id (STRING): UUID of the snapmirror relationship.
policy_name (STRING): SnapMirror policy name.

sm.xfer.incr.snap.rename

Severity

ERROR

Description

This message occurs when an incomplete SnapMirror® operation is detected for an incremental Snapshot(tm) copy that no longer exists on the SnapMirror® source volume. As a result, SnapMirror creates a Snapshot copy with the name "snapmirror_vlt_xfer_recovery" and requires a SnapMirror Resync operation to be performed on the SnapVault relationship to resume data protection.

Corrective Action

Resume data protection either by retaining or deleting the Snapshot(tm) copy. Use the 'snapmirror resync -preserve' to retain it or use the 'snapmirror resync' command to delete it.

Syslog Message

An incomplete SnapMirror operation was detected for an incremental Snapshot copy that no longer exists on the source volume '%s'. The data transfer for the incremental Snapshot copy was completed but the Snapshot copy on the vault destination '%s' was not created. Instead, a Snapshot copy with the name "snapmirror_vlt_xfer_recovery" was created.

Parameters

src_path (STRING): Source volume of the relationship.
dst_path (STRING): Destination volume of the relationship.

sm.xfer.no.new.snap

Severity

INFORMATIONAL

Description

This message occurs when a SnapMirror® update does not find any new Snapshot(tm) copies to transfer. This can happen when none of the newer Snapshot copies on the source has a SnapMirror® label that matches a SnapMirror policy.

Corrective Action

Check that the SnapMirror label from the Snapshot policy matches SnapMirror policy rules.

Syslog Message

SnapMirror update did not find any new Snapshot copies to transfer from the source volume '%s' of the relationship with relationship UUID '%s'.

Parameters

src_path (STRING): Source volume of the SnapMirror relationship.
relationship_id (STRING): UUID of the snapmirror relationship.

sm.xfer.same.name.snap.dst

Severity

ERROR

Description

This message occurs when a Snapshot copy was not transferred from the source volume to the destination volume during a snapmirror transfer because a Snapshot copy with the same name already exists in the destination volume.

Corrective Action

Rename the Snapshot copy in the source volume to a name that does not match the name of any Snapshot copy in the destination volume. Then, wait for the next scheduled update or trigger a manual snapmirror update.

Syslog Message

Snapshot copy "%s" was not transferred from the source volume "%s" to the destination volume "%s" because the destination volume has a Snapshot copy with the same name.

Parameters

snap_name (STRING): Name of the Snapshot copy that was not transferred.
src_path (STRING): Source volume of the relationship.
dst_path (STRING): Destination volume of the relationship.

sm.xfer.warn.limit

Severity

ERROR

Description

This message occurs when a SnapMirror® transfer receives a warning when it is approaching the "keep" count of a particular SnapMirror® relationship.

Corrective Action

Increase the "keep" count to transfer more Snapshot(tm) copies with the same label using the following command: snapmirror policy modify-rule -policy [policy_name] -keep [keep_count]

Syslog Message

Warnings issued for SnapMirror relationship with source volume '%s' and destination volume '%s' with relationship UUID '%s' : %s

Parameters

src_path (STRING): Source volume of the relationship.
dst_path (STRING): Destination volume of the relationship.
relationship_id (STRING): UUID of the snapmirror relationship.
warn_str (STRING): SnapMirror transfer warning.

sm.xfer.warn.snapshot.count.limit

Severity

ERROR

Description

This message occurs during a SnapMirror® transfer, when the Snapshot(tm) count limit is reached for the SnapMirror relationship between the indicated source and destination volumes.

Corrective Action

Delete some Snapshot copies from the destination volume to create space for new Snapshot copies to be transferred to it.

Syslog Message

Snapshot count limit for SnapMirror relationship with source volume '%s' and destination volume '%s' with relationship UUID '%s' has been reached : %s

Parameters

src_path (STRING): Source volume of the SnapMirror relationship.
dst_path (STRING): Destination volume of the SnapMirror relationship.
relationship_id (STRING): UUID of the snapmirror relationship.
warn_str (STRING): SnapMirror transfer warning.
