What you can do if initialization fails or is interrupted

When an initial SnapMirror transfer fails, you can resume the transfer by re-entering the snapmirror initialize command if all the following conditions are satisfied.

  • The value for restart mode in the /etc/snapmirror.conf file is set to always or is set to the default, and the next scheduled update has not begun.
  • The output of the snapmirror status command displays that the process has a restart checkpoint.
  • The Snapshot copy used for the initial SnapMirror transfer still exists.
  • The disk geometry has not changed.
Note: If these conditions are not satisfied, you can start the initial SnapMirror transfer again, instead of resuming the transfer.

SnapMirror does not automatically retry to initialize a destination.
