Update a SnapMirror relationship

Contributors

PATCH /snapmirror/relationships/{uuid}

Introduced In: 9.6

Updates a SnapMirror relationship. This API is used to initiate SnapMirror operations such as "initialize", "resync", "break", "quiesce", and "resume" by specifying the appropriate value for the "state" field. It is also used to modify the SnapMirror policy associated with the specified relationship. Additionally, a SnapMirror relationship can be failed over to the destination endpoint or a failed over SnapMirror relationship can be failed back to the original state or a SnapMirror relationship direction can be reversed using this API.

To initialize the relationship, PATCH the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync".

To break the relationship or to failover to the destination endpoint and start serving data from the destination endpoint, PATCH the state to "broken_off" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or "sync". SnapMirror relationships with the policy type as "sync" and sync_type as "automated_failover" cannot be "broken_off".

To resync the broken relationship, PATCH the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync".

To failback the failed over relationship and start serving data from the source endpoint, PATCH the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync" and set the query flag "failback" as "true". SnapMirror relationships with the policy type as "sync" and sync_type as "automated_failover" can be in "broken_off" state due to a failed attempt of automated SnapMirror failover operation.

To pause the relationship, suspending further transfers, PATCH the state to "paused" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or "sync". SnapMirror relationships with the policy type as "sync" and sync_type as "automated_failover" cannot be "paused".

To resume transfers for a paused relationship, PATCH the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync".

To reverse the direction of the relationship, PATCH the "source.path" with the destination endpoint and the "destination.path" with the source endpoint and the relationship state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync".

The values "in_sync", "out_of_sync", and "synchronizing" are only applicable to relationships with a policy of type "sync".

  • snapmirror modify

  • snapmirror initialize

  • snapmirror resync

  • snapmirror break

  • snapmirror quiesce

  • snapmirror resume

Examples

The following examples show how to perform the SnapMirror "resync", "initialize", "resume", "quiesce", and "break" operations. In addition, a relationship can be failed over to the destination endpoint and start serving data from the destination endpoint. A failed over relationship can be failed back to the source endpoint and serve data from the source endpoint. Also a relationship can be reversed by making the source endpoint as the new destination endpoint and the destination endpoint as the new source endpoint.

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

uuid

string

path

True

Relationship UUID

failover

boolean

query

False

If this parameter is set, validation and failover will occur to the SVM-DR SnapMirror relationship destination endpoint. Any other fields specified with this parameter will be ignored. This parameter is supported only for SVM-DR SnapMirror relationships.

  • Introduced in: 9.7

  • Default value:

force-failover

boolean

query

False

If this parameter is set, failover will occur to the SVM-DR SnapMirror relationship destination endpoint, overriding the validation errors. Any other fields specified with this parameter will be ignored. This parameter is supported only for SVM-DR SnapMirror relationships.

  • Introduced in: 9.7

  • Default value:

force

boolean

query

False

If this parameter is set while specifying the state as "broken_off", indicates a forced failover overriding the validation errors.

  • Introduced in: 9.8

  • Default value:

failback

boolean

query

False

If this parameter is set while specifying the state as "snapmirrored", indicates recovery of the failed over SnapMirror relationship by preserving the data written on the destination endpoint when the SnapMirror relationship was in failed over state. This flag is only applicable to SVM-DR SnapMirror relationships.

  • Introduced in: 9.8

  • Default value:

return_timeout

integer

query

False

The number of seconds to allow the call to execute before returning. When doing a POST, PATCH, or DELETE operation on a single record, the default is 0 seconds. This means that if an asynchronous operation is started, the server immediately returns HTTP code 202 (Accepted) along with a link to the job. If a non-zero value is specified for POST, PATCH, or DELETE operations, ONTAP waits that length of time to see if the job completes so it can return something other than 202.

  • Default value: 1

  • Max value: 120

  • Min value: 0

validate_only

boolean

query

False

Validate the operation and its parameters, without actually performing the operation.

  • Introduced in: 9.7

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

_links

consistency_group_failover

snapmirror_consistency_group_failover

SnapMirror Consistency Group failover information. The SnapMirror Consistency Group failover can be a planned or an unplanned operation. Only active SnapMirror Consistency Group failover operation progress can be monitored using this object. In case of an error during the failover operation, the property "consistency_group_failover.error" holds the reason for the error. ONTAP automatically retries any failed SnapMirror Consistency Group failover operation.

  • Introduced in: 9.8

  • readOnly: 1

create_destination

snapmirror_destination_creation

Use this object to provision the destination endpoint when establishing a SnapMirror relationship for a FlexVol volume, FlexGroup volume, SVM, Consistency Group or ONTAP S3 Bucket. Given a source endpoint, the destination endpoint is provisioned in the SVM specified in the "destination.path" property. While protecting an SVM, the SVM destination endpoint can only be provisioned on the local cluster. To provision the SVM destination endpoint use the optional "source.cluster.name" property to specify the remote cluster name or use the optional "source.cluster.uuid" property to specify the remote cluster UUID. When "create_destination.enabled" option is specified while making a POST for a SnapMirror relationship, the relationship can be automatically initialized by setting the "state" either to "snapmirrored" when the policy is of type "async" or to "in_sync" when the policy is of type "sync". The "destination.path" property must specify the destination endpoint path. For example, for FlexVol volume and FlexGroup volume, the "destination.path" can be specified as , for SVM data protection, the "destination.path" must be specified as <destination-SVM-name:>, and for Consistency Group, the "destination.path" must be specified as <destination-SVM-name:/cg/consistency-group-name> along with the "destination.consistency_group_volumes" property to indicate the list of destination volumes of type "DP" in the Consistency Group. For a FlexVol volume, a FlexGroup volume, Consistency Group or a Bucket destination endpoint, the properties in this object can be specified either from the source or the destination cluster. For an SVM destination endpoint, the properties in this object can be specified from the destination cluster only. This object is not supported for non ONTAP endpoints. While protecting a S3 Bucket, the optional "size" property can be used to create ONTAP S3 Bucket destination endpoint of the specified size.

  • Introduced in: 9.7

  • x-ntap-createOnly: true

destination

snapmirror_endpoint

Endpoint of a SnapMirror relationship. For a GET request, the property "cluster" is populated when the endpoint is on a remote cluster. A POST request to create the destination SVM endpoint or to establish an SVM DR relationship must have the property "cluster" populated with the remote cluster details. A POST request to create the destination FlexVol volume, FlexGroup volume, Consistency Group, ONTAP S3 bucket and NON-ONTAP object-store endpoints can optionally specify the "cluster" property when the source SVM and the destination SVM are peered. A POST request to establish a SnapMirror relationship between the source endpoint and destination endpoint and when the source SVM and the destination SVM are not peered, must specify the "cluster" property for the remote endpoint.

  • Introduced in: 9.6

exported_snapshot

string

Snapshot copy exported to clients on destination.

healthy

boolean

Is the relationship healthy?

lag_time

string

Time since the exported Snapshot copy was created.

policy

policy

Basic policy information of the relationship.

preserve

boolean

Set to true on resync to preserve Snapshot copies on the destination that are newer than the latest common Snapshot copy. This property is applicable only for relationships with FlexVol volume or FlexGroup volume endpoints and when the PATCH state is being changed to "snapmirrored".

quick_resync

boolean

Set to true to reduce resync time by not preserving storage efficiency. This property is applicable only for relationships with FlexVol volume endpoints and when the PATCH state is being changed to "snapmirrored".

recover_after_break

boolean

Set to true to recover from a failed SnapMirror break operation on a FlexGroup volume relationship. This restores all destination FlexGroup constituent volumes to the latest Snapshot copy, and any writes to the read-write constituents are lost. This property is applicable only for SnapMirror relationships with FlexGroup volume endpoints and when the PATCH state is being changed to "broken_off".

restore

boolean

Set to true to create a relationship for restore. To trigger restore-transfer, use transfers POST on the restore relationship. SnapMirror relationships with the policy type "async" can be restored. SnapMirror relationships with the policy type "sync" cannot be restored.

restore_to_snapshot

string

Specifies the Snapshot copy to restore to on the destination during the break operation. This property is applicable only for SnapMirror relationships with FlexVol volume endpoints and when the PATCH state is being changed to "broken_off".

source

snapmirror_endpoint

Endpoint of a SnapMirror relationship. For a GET request, the property "cluster" is populated when the endpoint is on a remote cluster. A POST request to create the destination SVM endpoint or to establish an SVM DR relationship must have the property "cluster" populated with the remote cluster details. A POST request to create the destination FlexVol volume, FlexGroup volume, Consistency Group, ONTAP S3 bucket and NON-ONTAP object-store endpoints can optionally specify the "cluster" property when the source SVM and the destination SVM are peered. A POST request to establish a SnapMirror relationship between the source endpoint and destination endpoint and when the source SVM and the destination SVM are not peered, must specify the "cluster" property for the remote endpoint.

  • Introduced in: 9.6

state

string

State of the relationship. To initialize the relationship, PATCH the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or to state "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync". To break the relationship, PATCH the state to "broken_off" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or "sync". SnapMirror relationships with the policy type as "sync" and "sync_type" as "automated_failover" cannot be "broken_off". To resync the relationship, PATCH the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or to state "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync". SnapMirror relationships with the policy type as "sync" and "sync_type" as "automated_failover" can be in "broken_off" state due to a failed attempt of SnapMirror failover. To pause the relationship, suspending further transfers, PATCH the state to "paused" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or "sync". SnapMirror relationships with the policy type as "sync" and "sync_type" as "automated_failover" cannot be "paused". To resume transfers for a paused relationship, PATCH the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or to state "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync". The entries "in_sync", "out_of_sync", and "synchronizing" are only applicable to relationships with a policy of type "sync". A PATCH call on the state change only triggers the transition to the specified state. You must poll on the "state", "healthy" and "unhealthy_reason" properties using a GET request to determine if the transition is successful. To automatically initialize the relationship when specifying "create_destination" property, set the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or to state "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync".

transfer

transfer

Basic information on the current transfer or the last transfer if there is no active transfer at the time of the request.

unhealthy_reason

array[snapmirror_error]

Reason the relationship is not healthy. It is a concatenation of up to four levels of error messages.

snapmirror_consistency_group_failover

SnapMirror Consistency Group failover information. The SnapMirror Consistency Group failover can be a planned or an unplanned operation. Only active SnapMirror Consistency Group failover operation progress can be monitored using this object. In case of an error during the failover operation, the property "consistency_group_failover.error" holds the reason for the error. ONTAP automatically retries any failed SnapMirror Consistency Group failover operation.

enabled

boolean

This property indicates whether to create the destination endpoint using storage service.

enforce_performance

boolean

Optional property to enforce storage service performance on the destination endpoint. This property is applicable to FlexVol volume, FlexGroup volume, and Consistency Group endpoints.

name

string

Optional property to specify the storage service name for the destination endpoint. This property is considered when the property "create_destination.storage_service.enabled" is set to "true". When the property "create_destination.storage_service.enabled" is set to "true" and the "create_destination.storage_service.name" for the endpoint is not specified, then ONTAP selects the highest storage service available on the cluster to provision the destination endpoint. This property is applicable to FlexVol volume, FlexGroup volume, and Consistency Group endpoints.

  • enum: ["extreme", "performance", "value"]

  • Introduced in: 9.6

tiering

Name Type Description

policy

string

Optional property to specify the destination endpoint's tiering policy when "create_destination.tiering.supported" is set to "true". This property is applicable to FlexVol volume, FlexGroup volume, and Consistency Group endpoints. This property determines whether the user data blocks of the destination endpoint in a FabricPool will be tiered to the cloud store when they become cold. FabricPool combines flash (performance tier) with a cloud store into a single aggregate. Temperature of the destination endpoint volume blocks increases if they are accessed frequently and decreases when they are not. all ‐ This policy allows tiering of both destination endpoint Snapshot copies and the user transfered data blocks to the cloud store as soon as possible by ignoring the temperature on the volume blocks. This tiering policy is not applicable for Consistency Group destination endpoints or for synchronous relationships. auto ‐ This policy allows tiering of both destination endpoint Snapshot copies and the active file system user data to the cloud store none ‐ Destination endpoint volume blocks will not be tiered to the cloud store. snapshot_only ‐ This policy allows tiering of only the destination endpoint volume Snapshot copies not associated with the active file system. The default tiering policy is "snapshot_only" for a FlexVol volume and "none" for a FlexGroup volume.

supported

boolean

Optional property to enable provisioning of the destination endpoint volumes on FabricPool aggregates. This property is applicable to FlexVol volume, FlexGroup volume, and Consistency Group endpoints. Only FabricPool aggregates are used if this property is set to "true" and only non FabricPool aggregates are used if this property is set to "false". Tiering support for a FlexGroup volume can be changed by moving all of the constituents to the required aggregates. Note that in order to tier data, not only do the destination endpoint volumes need to support tiering by using FabricPools, the "create_destination.tiering.policy" must not be "none". A destination endpoint that uses FabricPools but has a tiering "policy" of "none" supports tiering but will not tier any data.

snapmirror_destination_creation

Use this object to provision the destination endpoint when establishing a SnapMirror relationship for a FlexVol volume, FlexGroup volume, SVM, Consistency Group or ONTAP S3 Bucket. Given a source endpoint, the destination endpoint is provisioned in the SVM specified in the "destination.path" property. While protecting an SVM, the SVM destination endpoint can only be provisioned on the local cluster. To provision the SVM destination endpoint use the optional "source.cluster.name" property to specify the remote cluster name or use the optional "source.cluster.uuid" property to specify the remote cluster UUID. When "create_destination.enabled" option is specified while making a POST for a SnapMirror relationship, the relationship can be automatically initialized by setting the "state" either to "snapmirrored" when the policy is of type "async" or to "in_sync" when the policy is of type "sync". The "destination.path" property must specify the destination endpoint path. For example, for FlexVol volume and FlexGroup volume, the "destination.path" can be specified as , for SVM data protection, the "destination.path" must be specified as <destination-svm-name:>, and for Consistency Group, the "destination.path" must be specified as <destination-svm-name:> along with the "destination.consistency_group_volumes" property to indicate the list of destination volumes of type "DP" in the Consistency Group. For a FlexVol volume, a FlexGroup volume, Consistency Group or a Bucket destination endpoint, the properties in this object can be specified either from the source or the destination cluster. For an SVM destination endpoint, the properties in this object can be specified from the destination cluster only. This object is not supported for non ONTAP endpoints. While protecting a S3 Bucket, the optional "size" property can be used to create ONTAP S3 Bucket destination endpoint of the specified size.</destination-svm-name:></destination-svm-name:>

snapmirror_relationship

SnapMirror relationship information. The SnapMirror relatiosnhip can be either "async" or "sync" based on the type of SnapMirror policy associated with the relationship. The source and destination endpoints of a SnapMirror relationship must be of the same type, for example, if the source endpoint is a FlexVol volume then the destination endpoint must be a FlexVol volume. The SnapMirror policy type "async" can be used when the SnapMirror relationship has FlexVol volume or FlexGroup volume or SVM as the endpoint. The SnapMirror policy type "sync" can be used when the SnapMirror relationship has FlexVol volume as the endpoint. The SnapMirror policy type "sync" with "sync_type" as "automated_failover" can be used when the SnapMirror relationship has Consistency Group as the endpoint.

consistency_group_failover

snapmirror_consistency_group_failover

SnapMirror Consistency Group failover information. The SnapMirror Consistency Group failover can be a planned or an unplanned operation. Only active SnapMirror Consistency Group failover operation progress can be monitored using this object. In case of an error during the failover operation, the property "consistency_group_failover.error" holds the reason for the error. ONTAP automatically retries any failed SnapMirror Consistency Group failover operation.

create_destination

snapmirror_destination_creation

Use this object to provision the destination endpoint when establishing a SnapMirror relationship for a FlexVol volume, FlexGroup volume, SVM, Consistency Group or ONTAP S3 Bucket. Given a source endpoint, the destination endpoint is provisioned in the SVM specified in the "destination.path" property. While protecting an SVM, the SVM destination endpoint can only be provisioned on the local cluster. To provision the SVM destination endpoint use the optional "source.cluster.name" property to specify the remote cluster name or use the optional "source.cluster.uuid" property to specify the remote cluster UUID. When "create_destination.enabled" option is specified while making a POST for a SnapMirror relationship, the relationship can be automatically initialized by setting the "state" either to "snapmirrored" when the policy is of type "async" or to "in_sync" when the policy is of type "sync". The "destination.path" property must specify the destination endpoint path. For example, for FlexVol volume and FlexGroup volume, the "destination.path" can be specified as , for SVM data protection, the "destination.path" must be specified as <destination-SVM-name:>, and for Consistency Group, the "destination.path" must be specified as <destination-SVM-name:/cg/consistency-group-name> along with the "destination.consistency_group_volumes" property to indicate the list of destination volumes of type "DP" in the Consistency Group. For a FlexVol volume, a FlexGroup volume, Consistency Group or a Bucket destination endpoint, the properties in this object can be specified either from the source or the destination cluster. For an SVM destination endpoint, the properties in this object can be specified from the destination cluster only. This object is not supported for non ONTAP endpoints. While protecting a S3 Bucket, the optional "size" property can be used to create ONTAP S3 Bucket destination endpoint of the specified size.

destination

snapmirror_endpoint

Endpoint of a SnapMirror relationship. For a GET request, the property "cluster" is populated when the endpoint is on a remote cluster. A POST request to create the destination SVM endpoint or to establish an SVM DR relationship must have the property "cluster" populated with the remote cluster details. A POST request to create the destination FlexVol volume, FlexGroup volume, Consistency Group, ONTAP S3 bucket and NON-ONTAP object-store endpoints can optionally specify the "cluster" property when the source SVM and the destination SVM are peered. A POST request to establish a SnapMirror relationship between the source endpoint and destination endpoint and when the source SVM and the destination SVM are not peered, must specify the "cluster" property for the remote endpoint.

  • Introduced in: 9.6

exported_snapshot

string

Snapshot copy exported to clients on destination.

healthy

boolean

Is the relationship healthy?

lag_time

string

Time since the exported Snapshot copy was created.

policy

policy

Basic policy information of the relationship.

preserve

boolean

Set to true on resync to preserve Snapshot copies on the destination that are newer than the latest common Snapshot copy. This property is applicable only for relationships with FlexVol volume or FlexGroup volume endpoints and when the PATCH state is being changed to "snapmirrored".

quick_resync

boolean

Set to true to reduce resync time by not preserving storage efficiency. This property is applicable only for relationships with FlexVol volume endpoints and when the PATCH state is being changed to "snapmirrored".

recover_after_break

boolean

Set to true to recover from a failed SnapMirror break operation on a FlexGroup volume relationship. This restores all destination FlexGroup constituent volumes to the latest Snapshot copy, and any writes to the read-write constituents are lost. This property is applicable only for SnapMirror relationships with FlexGroup volume endpoints and when the PATCH state is being changed to "broken_off".

restore

boolean

Set to true to create a relationship for restore. To trigger restore-transfer, use transfers POST on the restore relationship. SnapMirror relationships with the policy type "async" can be restored. SnapMirror relationships with the policy type "sync" cannot be restored.

restore_to_snapshot

string

Specifies the Snapshot copy to restore to on the destination during the break operation. This property is applicable only for SnapMirror relationships with FlexVol volume endpoints and when the PATCH state is being changed to "broken_off".

source

snapmirror_endpoint

Endpoint of a SnapMirror relationship. For a GET request, the property "cluster" is populated when the endpoint is on a remote cluster. A POST request to create the destination SVM endpoint or to establish an SVM DR relationship must have the property "cluster" populated with the remote cluster details. A POST request to create the destination FlexVol volume, FlexGroup volume, Consistency Group, ONTAP S3 bucket and NON-ONTAP object-store endpoints can optionally specify the "cluster" property when the source SVM and the destination SVM are peered. A POST request to establish a SnapMirror relationship between the source endpoint and destination endpoint and when the source SVM and the destination SVM are not peered, must specify the "cluster" property for the remote endpoint.

  • Introduced in: 9.6

state

string

State of the relationship. To initialize the relationship, PATCH the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or to state "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync". To break the relationship, PATCH the state to "broken_off" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or "sync". SnapMirror relationships with the policy type as "sync" and "sync_type" as "automated_failover" cannot be "broken_off". To resync the relationship, PATCH the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or to state "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync". SnapMirror relationships with the policy type as "sync" and "sync_type" as "automated_failover" can be in "broken_off" state due to a failed attempt of SnapMirror failover. To pause the relationship, suspending further transfers, PATCH the state to "paused" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or "sync". SnapMirror relationships with the policy type as "sync" and "sync_type" as "automated_failover" cannot be "paused". To resume transfers for a paused relationship, PATCH the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or to state "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync". The entries "in_sync", "out_of_sync", and "synchronizing" are only applicable to relationships with a policy of type "sync". A PATCH call on the state change only triggers the transition to the specified state. You must poll on the "state", "healthy" and "unhealthy_reason" properties using a GET request to determine if the transition is successful. To automatically initialize the relationship when specifying "create_destination" property, set the state to "snapmirrored" for relationships with a policy of type "async" or to state "in_sync" for relationships with a policy of type "sync".
