During Stage 6, you confirm that the new nodes are set up correctly and, if the new nodes are encryption-enabled, you configure and set up Storage Encryption or NetApp Volume Encryption. You should also decommission the old nodes and resume the SnapMirror operations.

Steps

  1. Manage authentication using KMIP servers

  2. Confirm that the new controllers are set up correctly

  3. Set up Storage Encryption on the new controller module

  4. Set up NetApp Volume or Aggregate Encryption on the new controller module

  5. Decommission the old system

  6. Resume SnapMirror operations

MetroCluster FC configuration

In a MetroCluster FC configuration, you must replace the disaster recovery/failover site nodes as soon as possible. Mismatch in controller models within a MetroCluster is not supported because controller model mismatch can cause disaster recovery mirroring to go offline. Use the -skip-metrocluster-check true command to bypass MetroCluster checks when you are replacing nodes at the second site.
