Use the following information if the snapmirror delete command fails when a SnapMirror active sync consistency group relationship is in takeover state.

Issue:

When ONTAP 9.9.1 is installed on a cluster, executing the snapmirror delete command fails when a SnapMirror active sync consistency group relationship is in takeover state.

Example:
C2_cluster::> snapmirror delete  vs1:/cg/dd

Error: command failed: RPC: Couldn't make connection
Solution

When the nodes in a SnapMirror active sync relationship are in takeover state, perform the SnapMirror delete and release operation with the "-force" option set to true.

Example:
C2_cluster::> snapmirror delete  vs1:/cg/dd -force true

Warning: The relationship between source "vs0:/cg/ss" and destination
         "vs1:/cg/dd" will be deleted, however the items of the destination
         Consistency Group might not be made writable, deletable, or modifiable
         after the operation. Manual recovery might be required.
Do you want to continue? {y|n}: y
Operation succeeded: snapmirror delete for the relationship with destination "vs1:/cg/dd".
