60 Troubleshooting
Can you replicate a volume?
No Unable to select the replication
mode?
• In SMU, review event logs for indicators of a specific fault
in a host or replication data path component.
• In SMU’s Configuration View panel, right-click a
subordinate volume, and select View > Overview to view
links.
• Local Replication mode replicates to a secondary volume
residing in the local storage system. Verify selection of a
valid local volume on vdisk.
• Remote Replication mode replicates to a secondary
volume residing in an independent storage system:
• Verify selection of valid remote vdisk
• Verify selection of valid remote volume on vdisk
• Verify valid IP address of remote system’s network port
• Verify user name with Manage role on remote system
• Verify user’s password on remote system
NOTE: If the remote system has not been added, it
cannot be selected.
No Unable to select the secondary
volume (the destination volume
on the vdisk to which you will
replicate data from the primary
volume)?
• In SMU, review event logs for indicators of a specific fault
in a replication data path component.
• Verify valid specification of the secondary volume
according to either of the following criteria:
• Creation of new volume on vdisk
• Selection of replication-prepared volume
• In SMU’s Configuration View panel, right-click the
secondary volume, and select View > Overview to
display the Replication Volume Overview table.
• Verify the type and numbering of ports used for the
inter-system link
• Verify that the vdisk volume has sufficient space to
accommodate replicated data
No Communication link is down. See actions described in Can you view information about
remote links? on page 59.

Answer Possible reasons Actions
Yes System functioning properly. No action required.
No Remote Snap is not licensed on
each controller enclosure used
for replication.
See actions described in Can you successfully use the Remote
Snap feature? on page 59.
No Nonexistent replication set. • Determine existence of primary or secondary volumes.
• If a replication set has not been successfully created, use
SMU’s Replication Setup Wizard to create one.
• In SMU, review event logs for indicators of a specific fault
in a replication data path component.
