Replication Destination FS is Busy

Description

Replication between the source NAS volume and the destination

 

NAS volume fails because the destination cluster file system is

 

temporarily unavailable to serve the required replication.

Cause

Replication task fails because the destination cluster is temporarily

 

unavailable to serve the required replication.

Workaround

The replication continues automatically when the file system releases

 

part of the resources. Administrators should verify that the replication

 

continues automatically after a period of time (an hour).

 

 

Replication Destination is Down

Description

Replication between the NAS source volume and the NAS destination

 

volume fails because the destination NAS volume is down.

Cause

Replication task fails since the file system of the destination NAS

 

volume is down.

Workaround

Administrators should check if the file system is down in the

 

destination system using the monitoring section of the NAS

 

Manager. If the PowerVault NX3500 file system is not responding,

 

administrators should start the system on the destination cluster.

 

The replication continues automatically after the file system starts.

 

 

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 should 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.
