SRM 5.8 Stuck on Reprotect

Here is what we have:

1. What is the Site Reccovery Manager (SRM) version?  5.8.0.8607

2. What is the Storage Replication Adapter (SRA) version (NetApp, Dell, IBM, etc.) and Revision(4.0, 4.1, 5.0, etc)? IBM Systems Storage N Series SRA, 2.1

3. What is the vCenter version? 5.5.0.43769

4. What is the ESX version?  5.5.0 build 1746018

4. How is the host connected (FC,iSCS,IB,SAS) to the array? FC

Within Protection Plan we have 2 Groups. 1st has 2 VM's which house our Post Offices (over 1 Tb data each) on Filer 2

                                                              2nd has 1 VM (80Gb data) on Filer 1.

When running the Re-protect Configure Storage to Reverse Direction Protection Group 2 completes but Group 1 fails with:

"Error: Failed to reverse replication for failed over devices.

SRA command 'prepareReverseReplication' failed. Address of the storage array is not reachable. Storage array might be down or IP address entered might be incorrect. Ensure that the storage array is up and running and the IP address of the storage array is reachable through the command line interface."


I am able to see the Storage array and have Re-Scanned as well.


The SnapMirror is Initialized and updating every 15 minutes for all 3 volumes.


Destination Filer's  snapmirror.conf  shows that the 2 volumes in question are Snap Mirrored.


I have attached a log.


Any help would be appreciated.

It happens due to storage issue during replication. Have you already tried - kb.vmware.com/kb/2032621.
