Hello,

 

we are having problem with an aux copy job during the night. It fails with an error 

 

Failure Reason: Error occurred while replicating snaps p 100.64.80.90:SP_2_3754640_366032_], for storage policy cDC04_Oracle_DC03] copy p2-toVault] MediaAgent nde03comwisp]: Backup Job o3754640]. Failed to create replica snaps for primary snap jobj3754640] 0Failed to prepare snapshot.].

Failed to prepare snapshot. : Relationshiph0fb3694c-94-11ee-9705-00a098a] Sourcerde04ora0fsa01:o_n_orac_JOFI_data1] Destinationide03ora0fsa01:v_n_orac_JOFI_data1] cannot be used for replication. Please make sure the relationship status is Idle and resume the job.] 

 

Fails once in the night, then it succeeds later. It fails every night. Anyone had a similar issue?

Seems like a NetApp snapmirror relationship issue. This is likely due to a snapmirror failing perhaps not retrying to finish the mirror.

If you know the volume name run the following

snapmirror show volumename and refer to the line that says Last Transfer Error:

otherwise you can also run and see what volumes are showing as

 snapmirror show -healthy false -> this will help you to narrow that the volumes that are potentially having replication issues and fix them.

Lastely, if you right click on that job and view logs, that will show you exactly which volume it is referring to.
