Replication Target Volume is Busy Reclaiming Space
Description Replication between the source NAS volume and the target NAS volume fails because the target NAS
volume is busy freeing up space.
Cause Replication fails because the target NAS volume is busy freeing up space.
Workaround The replication continues automatically when the space is available. Verify that the replication
automatically continues after a period of time (an hour).
Replication Target Volume is Detached
Description Replication between the source NAS volume and the target NAS volume fails because the target NAS
volume is detached from the source NAS volume.
Cause Replication fails because the target NAS volume was previously detached from the source NAS volume.
Workaround Perform the detach action on the source NAS volume. If required, reattach both NAS volumes in a
replication relation.
Replication Disconnection
Description Replication between the source NAS volume and the target NAS volume fails because the connection
between the source and target systems is lost.
Cause Network infrastructure connection issue between the source and the target.
Workaround Check whether the replication is automatically restored. If the replication is not automatically restored,
check the network communication between the source FluidFS cluster and the target FluidFS cluster.
Network communication can be checked by using a third-party system in the same subnet that can ping
both the source and target FluidFS clusters. Also, verify that the FluidFS replication ports are open on
your rewall to allow replication between the source and target FluidFS cluster.
Replication Incompatible Versions
Description
Replication between the source NAS volume and the target NAS volume fails because the FluidFS
version of the source FluidFS cluster is higher than the FluidFS version of the target cluster.
Cause Replication fails because the FluidFS version of the source FluidFS cluster is higher than the FluidFS
version of the target FluidFS cluster.
Workaround Upgrade the FluidFS version of the target FluidFS cluster to match the FluidFS version of the source
FluidFS cluster.
Replication Internal Error
Description
Replication between the source and the target NAS volumes fails due to an internal error.
Workaround Contact Dell Technical Support to resolve this issue.
Replication Target Does Not Have Enough Space
Description
Replication between the source NAS volume and target NAS volume fails because there is not enough
space in the target NAS volume.
Cause Replication fails because there is not enough space in the target NAS volume.
Workaround Increase the space of the target NAS volume.
