Creating a Replication Fails
When creating a replication resource, the File Storage service returns an error message.
Error Code 400: Source and target file systems not compatible: snapshot mismatch
This error might occur when a file system is reused as a target file system.
For example, you can't re-establish a replication relationship between a source and target file system after deleting a prior replication if the snapshot configurations have changed on either side in the meantime.
Target a brand new file system when you create the replication.
Error Code 409: File system not targetable: is or was exported
A replication resource can't be created if the file system selected to be the target is currently exported or was exported in the past. Once a target file system has been exported and used, there is no way to re-establish a replication relationship to it from a source file system.
Option 1: Create a replication with a new target file system.
Create a new replication resource using a new target file system. This requires a full base copy.
Option 2: Create a replication with a clone of the target file system.
If the target file system still contains replication snapshots, you can re-establish a replication relationship using a clone that is created from any snapshot on the target file system. The replication will be created without the need for a full base copy.
The original file system can no longer be deleted because it is the root of the clone that was created.
Error Code 409: File system not targetable: attached to a filesystem snapshot policy
A replication resource can't be created if the file system selected to be the target is currently attached to a snapshot policy.
If the file system had an active snapshot policy and schedules that created policy-based snapshots, the file system can't be reused as a replication target.
Option 1: Create a replication with a new target file system.
Create a new replication resource using a new target file system. This requires a full base copy.
Option 2: Create a replication with a clone of the target file system.
If the target file system still contains replication snapshots, you can re-establish a replication relationship using a clone that is created from any snapshot on the target file system. The replication will be created without the need for a full base copy.
The original file system can no longer be deleted because it is the root of the clone that was created.
Error Code 404: Exceeded file system replications limit (3)
The maximum number of replications for a file system has been exceeded.
If you created a new file system as part of your failed attempt, you may delete it if needed. For more information, see Managing File Systems.
