Replication Disconnection Description Cause Workaround Replication between the NAS source volume and the NAS destination volume fails because the connection between source and destination systems is lost Network infrastructure disconnection between the source and the destination. The administrator should check if the replication is automatically restored. If the replication is not automatically restored, check the network communication between the source cluster and the destination cluster. Network communication can be checked by using a third party system in the same subnet that can ping both the source and destination clusters. Replication Incompatible Versions Description Cause Workaround Replication between the NAS source volume and the NAS destination volume fails because the system version of the source NAS cluster is higher than the system version of the destination cluster. Replication task fails since the system version of the NAS source volume is higher than the system version of the destination cluster. Administrators should upgrade the system version of the destination cluster to match the system version of the source cluster. Replication Internal Error Description Workaround Replication between the source and the destination NAS volumes fails due to an internal error. Contact Dell to resolve this issue.
