Cause

Different issues can cause this issue:
  1. Under certain circumstances, the replication session sync operation does not set the expiration time for the previous replicated snapshot. As a result, this system snapshot remains in the system even after the replication session is deleted. This system snapshot prevents the deletion of the resources Volume Group or Volume.
  2. After ending replication - replication session was deleted successfully, the resource could not be deleted as there was a system snapshot that is left behind.

Resolution

This issue is planned to be addressed in a future release. Contact Technical Support for further assistance.
