na_ontap_snapmirror has not release option

[ansibleguy76]

Summary

When you have an orphaned snapmirror relationship on the source... there is no way to release but to use the private rest_cli.

The code returns on release_snapmirror, but it's very easy to create orphaned snapmirrors.

it is all about the rename of the volume. the snapmirror does not receove the namechange. snapmirror delete just plain does not work. i got it to work, but i need to delete destination with option destination~only and source with source-info-only. the examples are hard to find.
