Snapshot group or member volume failed

A snapshot group or member volume in a consistency group (CG) has failed.

Important

  • Data is no longer usable on any associated snapshot images. Depending on the affected object, you will either need to delete the affected snapshot group or remove the member volume from the consistency group.

  • This failure typically occurs because there is a problem with the associated base volume, one or more of the individual repository volumes comprising the reserved capacity, or there is an integrity error that cannot be corrected. If there are any problems in the Problems area related to these objects, it is important to also complete the recovery steps for those problems.
