snapmirror problem “Transfer aborted: process was aborted”

Getting snapmirror problem “Transfer aborted: process was aborted” when you try to initialize? Try checking the amount of snapshots you have on the source volume. We had an issue where we already had the maximum amount of snapshots and the initialize could therefore not create its baseline one.

The error message is entirely useless and had a reasonable amount of information been provided by Netapp, this would not have take 2 days of investigation!

Delete a few snapshots and try again, it should be fine.
