ACFS resources (e.g., replication services, volumes) might not be properly configured or started on the new primary node after a failover, impeding transfer initiation.
⚠️
Insufficient Permissions
The user or process attempting to initiate the ACFS transfer lacks the necessary operating system or ACFS administrative privileges post-failover.
⚠️
