Make SVM destination volumes writeable
You need to make SVM destination volumes writeable before you can serve data to clients. The procedure is largely identical to the procedure for volume replication, with one exception. If you set -identity-preserve true when you created the SVM replication relationship, you must stop the source SVM before activating the destination SVM.
For complete command syntax, see the man page.
|
In a disaster recovery scenario, you cannot perform a SnapMirror update from the source SVM to the disaster recovery destination SVM because your source SVM and its data will be inaccessible, and because updates since the last resync might be bad or corrupt. |
-
From the destination SVM or the destination cluster, stop scheduled transfers to the destination:
snapmirror quiesce -source-path SVM: -destination-path SVM:You must enter a colon (:) after the SVM name in the
-source-pathand-destination-pathoptions. See the example below.The following example stops scheduled transfers between the source SVM
svm1and the destination SVMsvm_backup:cluster_dst::> snapmirror quiesce -source-path svm1: -destination-path svm_backup:
-
From the destination SVM or the destination cluster, stop ongoing transfers to the destination:
snapmirror abort -source-path SVM: -destination-path SVM:You must enter a colon (:) after the SVM name in the
-source-pathand-destination-pathoptions. See the example below.The following example stops ongoing transfers between the source SVM
svm1and the destination SVMsvm_backup:cluster_dst::> snapmirror abort -source-path svm1: -destination-path svm_backup:
-
From the destination SVM or the destination cluster, break the replication relationship:
snapmirror break -source-path SVM: -destination-path SVM:You must enter a colon (:) after the SVM name in the
-source-pathand-destination-pathoptions. See the example below.The following example breaks the relationship between the source SVM
svm1and the destination SVMsvm_backup:cluster_dst::> snapmirror break -source-path svm1: -destination-path svm_backup:
-
If you set
-identity-preserve truewhen you created the SVM replication relationship, stop the source SVM:vserver stop -vserver SVMThe following example stops the source SVM
svm1:cluster_src::> vserver stop svm1
-
Start the destination SVM:
vserver start -vserver SVMThe following example starts the destination SVM
svm_backup:cluster_dst::> vserver start svm_backup
Configure SVM destination volumes for data access, as described in Configuring the destination volume for data access.
