Description

This error indicates that an ACFS replication configuration is not set up correctly or is in a state that prevents failover or switchover operations. It occurs when attempting to perform a disaster recovery operation (failover/switchover) on an ACFS file system where replication is enabled but not fully prepared or supported for such a role transition. This can compromise disaster recovery capabilities for the affected storage location.
