Accidental deletion of SnapMirror Snapshot copies

If the base Snapshot copy (most recent common Snapshot copy) is accidentally deleted from either the source or destination location, attempt recovery as follows.

You might be able to recover without reinitializing the destination by breaking the SnapMirror relationship and then resynchronizing the source and the destination.

As long as there is at least one Snapshot copy common to both the source and the destination, resynchronization will succeed.

If there is no Snapshot copy common to both the source and the destination, you need to use the snapmirror initialize command over the network. Or, if the source and destination are volumes, use the snapmirror store command to store the source volume on tape and then use the snapmirror retrieve command to restore the volume from the tape to the destination.
