The snapmirror quiesce command disables future transfers for a SnapMirror relationship. If there is no transfer in progress, the relationship becomes "Quiesced" .

If there is a transfer in progress, it is not affected, and the relationship becomes "Quiescing" until the transfer completes. If the current transfer aborts, it will be treated like a future transfer and will not restart.

If applied to a load-sharing (LS) SnapMirror relationship, all the relationships in the load-sharing set will be quiesced.

If applied to a relationship with a policy of type strict-sync-mirror or sync-mirror , any ongoing operation is aborted, and if the relationship is InSync, synchronous replication is stopped. If the replication policy type is "strict-sync-mirror", then the primary client I/O disruption is not enforced. A new common Snapshot copy is created if the relationship is InSync, unless a recent one exists. The relationship becomes "Quiescing" until these operations complete.

When a SnapMirror relationship is quiesced, it remains quiesced across reboots and fail-overs.

This command is supported for SnapMirror relationships with the field "Relationship Capability" showing as either "9.7 and above" in the output of the snapmirror show command.

This command is not supported for SnapMirror active sync relationships with policy of type automated-failover or automated-failover-duplex .

The snapmirror quiesce command must be used from the destination Vserver or cluster.

The relationship must exist on the destination Vserver or cluster. When issuing snapmirror quiesce , you must specify the destination endpoint. The specification of the source endpoint of the relationship is optional.

Parameters

{ [-S, -source-path {<[vserver:][volume]>|<[[cluster:]//vserver/]volume>|<hostip:/lun/name>|<hostip:/share/share-name>|<[vserver:]/cg/[app-cgname]>}] - Source Path: This parameter specifies the source endpoint of the SnapMirror relationship in one of four path formats. The normal format includes the names of the Vserver (vserver) and/or the volume (volume). For SnapMirror relationships with an AltaVault source, the source endpoint is specified in the form hostip:/share/share-name . For SnapMirror relationships with a SolidFire source, the source endpoint is specified in the form hostip:/lun/name .
| [-source-cluster <Cluster name>] - Source Cluster: Specifies the source cluster of the SnapMirror relationship. If this parameter is specified, the -source-vserver and -source-volume parameters must also be specified. This parameter cannot be specified when operating in a Vserver context on relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "9.7 and above" .
[-source-vserver <vserver name>] - Source Vserver: Specifies the source Vserver of the SnapMirror relationship. This parameter is not supported for relationships with non-Data ONTAP source endpoints.
[-source-volume <volume name>] - Source Volume }: Specifies the source volume of the SnapMirror relationship. This parameter is not supported for relationships with non-Data ONTAP source endpoints.
{ -destination-path {<[vserver:][volume]>|<[[cluster:]//vserver/]volume>|<hostip:/lun/name>|<hostip:/share/share-name>|<[vserver:]/cg/[app-cgname]>} - Destination Path: This parameter specifies the destination endpoint of the SnapMirror relationship in one of four path formats. The normal format includes the names of the Vserver (vserver) and/or volume (volume). For SnapMirror relationships with AltaVault destinations, the destination endpoint is specified in the form hostip:/share/share-name . For relationships with SolidFire destinations, the destination endpoint is specified in the form hostip:/lun/name .
| [-destination-cluster <Cluster name>] - Destination Cluster: Specifies the destination cluster of the SnapMirror relationship. If this parameter is specified, parameters -destination-vserver and -destination-volume must also be specified. This parameter cannot be specified when operating in a Vserver context on relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "9.7 and above" .
-destination-vserver <vserver name> - Destination Vserver: Specifies the destination Vserver of the SnapMirror relationship. This parameter is not supported for relationships with non-Data ONTAP destination endpoints.
-destination-volume <volume name> - Destination Volume }: Specifies the destination volume of the SnapMirror relationship. This parameter is not supported for relationships with non-Data ONTAP destination endpoints.

Examples

To quiesce the SnapMirror relationship with the destination endpoint vs2.example.com:dept_eng_mirror2 , type the following command:

vs2.example.com::> snapmirror quiesce -destination-path
       vs2.example.com:dept_eng_mirror2

To quiesce the Vserver SnapMirror relationship with the destination endpoint dvs1.example.com: , type the following command:

cluster2::> snapmirror quiesce -destination-path
         dvs1.example.com:

To quiesce the Application Consistency Group SnapMirror relationship with the destination Application Consistency Group app_cg_dst in Vserver vs2.example.com , type the following command:

vs2.example.com::> snapmirror quiesce -destination-path
          vs2.example.com:/cg/app_cg_dst
