Modifying the schedules after an upgrade sounds familiar, but I can't recall if that really addresses the root cause of the delays.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think verifying the cabling could help too. We had a practice question about hardware issues affecting SnapMirror transfers.

I'd be cautious about deleting and recreating the SnapMirror relationships. That could be risky and lead to data loss. I'd try the other options first before going that route.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Verifying the cabling of the hardware port responsible for SnapMirror transfers might be a good idea too. Could be a hardware issue causing the delays.

I think the key here is to quiesce the SnapMirror relationships before upgrading the ONTAP software. That should help prevent any issues with the updates.

This seems like a straightforward question about the applications of Pega's Next-Best-Action technology. I'm pretty confident I can figure this out.

Haha, deleting the relationships and creating them new? That's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I'd go with the quiescing option for sure.

Verifying the cabling is always a good idea, but it may not be the root cause of the issue in this case. The delayed updates are likely due to the software upgrade.
