    Hello, I defintely recommend that you raise a proper ticket on this.

    In the meantime I'm wondering if this could help.

    AutoFailOver indicates youre working with sync. Replication or LiveVolume.  You should open a support Ticket. The error msg doesnt help.

    If you dont have support revert the replication back to a single volume and than try to setup again.

    We have LiveVolumes working since 7-8Y and here the Failover works.

    Regards,

    Joerg

    @Origin3k​

    Found out that this is not a feasible solution for us, as we would like to enable this on existing production LUNs.

    which way to look? maybe something with the network or with the controllers?

    Thank you

    Ensure that your network settings are correctly configured. Misconfigurations can lead to communication issues between the controllers

    Verify that both controllers are functioning properly. You can check their status through the Dell Storage Manager or directly on the hardware

    @Serge_1980​ 

    You can always setup replication and than revert and the Volume stays online and accessable or does you mean because if the amount of data and bandwith between two sites you cant setup it again?

    What kind of sync youre using? LiveVolume or sync.Replication?

    @DELL-Marco B​ check all network settings - everything is OK, controllers with no errors. Still have this message...May be restart controllers?
