snapmirror goes to pending state during vol_copy process

1. Error:
Sun Feb 16 15:58:54 GMT [dst-filer:replication.dst.err:error]: SnapMirror: destination transfer
from filer04:vol_appsdata to filer06:vol_appsdata : destination in use as source of SnapVault
for NetBackup, dump, vol copy or SnapMirror.
Symptoms:
Snapmirror update goes to pending state.
Cause:
As the error indicates, this can happen during snapvaulting, netbackup, dump, vol copy or
cascade snapmirror operation.
I have encountered this error during vol copy process. During vol copy process [i.e. vol
copying the snapmirrored volume for testing dedupe savings] the destination volume [which is
a source during the vol copy process] is locked and in use for vol copy process. Therefore,
snapmirror update cannot replicate the blocks from the source volume to the destination
volume.
What to do:
Nothing, this is normal. Once the vol copy process completes, pending snapmirror state will
turn green [transferring state].
