Forgive me if I am asking the obvious;

Can you see anything odd in the /etc/log/snapmirror logs?

Cristoph, What does your current snapmirror status, snapmirror destinations and snap list output give?

Just looking for evidence of the previous snapmirror relationships.

Hi Toasters,

we have setup a vfiler on an FAS270 which holds 13 qtrees plus its etc-qtree. On a Nearstore we use vfiler dr for the original vfiler as fallback solution. We have tested the disaster case (cut off network connection to the filer and submitted vfiler dr activate on the nearstore) which worked fine, and also tested the reverse operation which worked fine. Next action was to clean up the nearstore - destroy the dr-vfiler remainders, snapmirror relationships and snapshots from both systems.

After this I was going to create the vfiler dr on the nearstore again, which did not work. Submitting the vfiler dr configure VFILERX@Physicalfiler command produced the following:

nearstore> vfiler dr configure VFILERx@physicalfilerY physicalfiler's Administartive login: root physicalfiler's Administartive password: Configuring SnapMirror to mirror vfiler VFILERx's storage from remote filer physicalfilerY.

Mon Nov 8 08:46:04 CET [snapmirror.dst.err:error]: SnapMirror destination transfer from physicalfilerY:/vol/vol1/qtree6 to /vol/vol1/qtree6 : too many active transfers at once on source. Unable to initialize SnapMirror for migrating VFILERx.

Has anyone out there made similar expieriences or has got a clue what causes this behaviour?
