Symptoms

Trying to view the snapshot sets created by native replication results in a no matches found message in both the CLI and UI:

xmcli (tech)> show-remote-protection-snapshot-sets protection-session-id=1
No matches found
xmcli (tech)> show-remote-protection-snapshot-sets protection-session-id=2
No matches found

However, by checking the protection sessions, the snapshot sets are being created:

Cause

A code bug that causes the Tasker process on the XtremIO Management Server (XMS) to stop working. This affects the auto_sync job run by the XMS and ultimately affects the way it gathers the native replication snapshot information from the array. 
 

Resolution

Found that this is a code bug with the current software on the array, and as a workaround, the refresh can be performed through the CLI.

Additional Information

If rebooting the XMS does not work, perform the following POA:

Ensure that the customer is aware that performing XMS recovery results in loss of the performance data, and their tags. Once customer approval is given for XMS recovery, perform the following:

Run xms-recovery on both XtremIO Management Servers:

  1. dry run xms-recovery on source xms; then xms-recovery on source xms if dry-run succeeds.
  2. dry run xms-recovery on target xms; then xms-recovery on target xms if dry-run succeeds.
