Convert an ONTAP SnapMirror SVM replication relationship to include SVM configuration information

You can convert an SVM DR relationship that excludes SVM configuration information during replication to a relationship that replicates the configuration information by using the -identity-preserve true parameter.

Before you begin

If there are any SnapMirror transfers in progress, either wait for them to complete or abort them.

Steps

  1. From the destination cluster, quiesce the relationship:

    snapmirror quiesce -destination-path <destination_svm>:

  2. When the relationship state is quiesced, from the destination cluster, delete the relationship:

    snapmirror delete -destination-path <destination_svm>:

  3. From the source cluster, release the relationship without deleting SnapMirror snapshot information:

    snapmirror release -destination-path <destination_svm>: -relationship-info-only true

  4. From the destination, recreate the replication relationship using -identity-preserve true:

    snapmirror create -source-path <source_svm>: -destination-path <destination_svm>: -policy <policy> -schedule <schedule> -identity-preserve true

  5. From the destination cluster, resynchronize the SnapMirror relationship:

    snapmirror resync -destination-path <destination_svm>:
