Snapshots Get Corrupted Fast

You’re using Veritas Volume Replicator, and when you create new snapshots, they get corrupted quite fast… What can be the reason?

First of all check your system with “vxlist” and try to see if any other cache objects are remaining, if you find any, stop and remove them…
