Problem

When using OST WORM storage and 'Auto Create AIR Import SLP', the first time an image is backed up the replication will work fine, however, the import on the target server may fail to start.

Solution

There are two known solutions for this issue

1. Delete the WORM STU, and configuring the SLP to use non-WORM storage

Run a backup to the SLP and allow this to replicate and import at the target site

Re-configuring the SLP once more to use the WORM STU should then allow future images to replicate and import successfully

2. Manually creating the Import SLP on the target and not relying on 'auto create import SLP', even when using a WORM STU will allow images to replicate and import successfully.
