What about the aggregate reserve on the destination aggregates?  I
think it defaults to 5% (I could check on my existing 7-mode 8.1.3
system... but I'm on vacation.  :-)

That might be enough space to get things rolling again.

Heino> Check fractional reserve.  That can use up space.

Heino> Quite some time out I had my fingers on a 7-mode netapp, but can you compare the output of:

Heino> Maybe this gives you an indication of where the missing space is allocated at.

Heino> Hi there

Heino> We have two systems that mirror eachothers volumes via snapmirror.

Heino> We are talking 7mode ONTAP 8.1.4

Heino> The two systems have the same controller: FAS3240

Heino> They have the same disks and aggregate configuration (70TB aggregates)

Heino> On the source side we use volumes that are thin-provisioned with LUNs that have space reservation
Heino> enabled, the LUNs are mostly close to 16TB (which is max)

Heino> All volumes are snapmirrored to volumes on the destination system with the same size and placed on
Heino> the same aggregates that mirror the source aggregates in size…

Heino> The aggregates on the source are all below 95% used.

Heino> Yet.. we are now at the situation where a few destination aggregates are 100% full, while the
Heino> source aggregates are still under 95% used…

Heino> I have checked almost everything, like aggregate snapshot reserves etc..  but they should be the
Heino> same…

Heino> Can anyone explain why this can happen?

Heino> We are of cause at a “deadlock” now.. I don’t think we can add anymore disks to the aggregates as
Heino> they are max size…

Heino> The only think I can think of is either delete a volume from the affected aggregates, and re-sync
Heino> the volume and hope it doesn’t fill up again…

Heino> Another way would be to add disks and build a new aggregate, and move some of the volumes…

Heino> Is there something I have missed? 😊
