Replication Destination Is Not Optimal

Description

Replication between the NAS source volume and the NAS destination volume fails

 

because the destination NAS volume is not optimal.

Cause

Replication fails because file system of the destination NAS volume is not optimal.

Workaround

The administrators must check the system status of destination system using the

 

monitoring section of the NAS Manager to understand why the file system is not

 

optimal. The replication continues automatically after the file system recovers.

Replication Destination Volume Is Busy Reclaiming Space

Description

Replication between the NAS source volume and the NAS destination volume fails

 

because the destination NAS volume is busy freeing up space.

Cause

Replication task fails because the destination NAS volume is busy freeing up space.

Workaround

The replication continues automatically when the space is available. The

 

administrators must verify that the replication automatically continues after a period

 

of time (an hour).

Replication Destination Volume Is Detached

Description

Replication between the NAS source volume and the NAS destination volume fails

 

because the NAS destination volume is detached from the NAS source volume.

Cause

Replication task fails because the destination NAS volume was previously detached

 

from the source NAS volume.

Workaround

The administrators must perform the detach action on the NAS source volume. If

 

required, reattach both NAS volumes in a replication relation.

Replication Disconnection

Description

Replication between the NAS source volume and the NAS destination volume fails

 

because the connection between source and destination systems is lost.

Cause

Network infrastructure disconnection between the source and the destination.

Workaround

The administrator must check if the replication is automatically restored. If the

 

replication is not automatically restored, check the network communication between

 

the source cluster and the destination cluster. Network communication can be

 

checked by using a third party system in the same subnet that can ping both the

 

source and destination clusters.

Replication Incompatible Versions

Description

Replication between the NAS source volume and the NAS destination volume fails

 

because the system version of the source NAS cluster is higher than the system

 

version of the destination cluster.

Cause

Replication task fails since the system version of the source NAS cluster is higher than

 

the system version of the destination cluster.

Workaround

Administrators must upgrade the system version of the destination cluster to match

 

the system version of the source cluster.
