Cause
This issue is due to a couple of reasons:
A new volume is either removed or added to the existing virtual standby which requires that the existing one be recreated - for those affected agents.
Or
The result of a bad upgrade.
-
Resolution
To resolve this issue,- Delete the existing Virtual standby export job for the affected agent(s). Note: not all agents may be encountering this issue.
- Recreate the virtual standby export job.
- Force a snapshot and wait for the export to start automatically. The job should complete successfully and continue to work without anymore missed exports.
