Hello,

 

Can you let us know the Storage model and firmware version you are on?

Am I correct to assume this is not live data as the volume name is Test?

 

From the

 

What this alarm means when the message says “Retrying”, it indicates:

  • The replication link or consistency group failed to synchronize properly.
  • The system is attempting to re-establish replication between the Primary and Secondary volumes.
  • This usually occurs after a network disruption, controller failover, or latency spike.

 

 

Common Causes

  1. Inter-cluster connectivity issues (WAN link down or unstable).
  2. Controller failover or reboot during replication.
  3. High latency or bandwidth saturation on the replication network.
  4. Replication service restart or temporary outage.
