Replication Volume error

kavandi — Thu, 17 Sep 2020 03:52:59 GMT

I have 2 hp msa2040 with firmware version GL210R004 that should be replicated with each other.

these two storages have connected with 4 fiber cable by a san switch.

I have 10 Volumes on first msa2040 and there are enough disk-group spaces on second msa2040 without any volume.

when I do Replicate Volume, I select "Create new volume on vdisk" for creating secondary volumes

I did replication set on these volumes, some of them replicated correct but some of them made a mistake like bottom photo.

then replication not done but secondary volume and snap pool are created on second msa

the volumes with mistake are completely similar to correct volumes.

could you please help me what should I do?

thanks

@kavandi

As per the screenshot it seems 10 replication set already created.

Try to initiate replication where you got error. Don't try to re-create replication set again.

If still it's failing then it require in-depth analysis by checking logs. For that you may need to log a HPE case with support.

You need to check space from Source and Destination array both. Please check SMU guide and replication whitepaper or user guide to get guidance on space calculation.

Hope this helps!

Yes, Fortunately, the problem was solved after a lot of effort

I updated firmware of both MSA 2040s and after that all errors resolved.

thank you
