Nas replicate switchover taking hours maybe days

VNX File 7.x

Local Replication, Same Array, Different Storage Pools

We were replicating 2 local file systems.  We did a "nas_replicate -switchover "  This process was taking hours.  After looking at the task, the completion time kept increasing every time we looked.  It was over 5 hours after we decided to reboot, and kill the task.  The Filesystem was 5.5TB.

Why was this taking so long?

    Hi Nichols,

    Did you check the limit of the file system with your current file code? You may need to involve Support for this. Are you using Replication Manager.....?

    Thanx

    Rakesh,

    We are using: Version: T7.1.74.5 -  The max filesystem size is 16TB.

    We are not using Replication Manager.  We used VNX Replicator.  nas_replicate ...

    We have involved support, and will continue.

    Thank You.

    Rainer - I was hoping someone might have seen or heard about this before.  We already have a service request open, and will work with EMC.

    Thank You.
