Beginning with ONTAP 9.8, you can use System Manager to activate a destination storage VM after a disaster. Activating the destination storage VM makes the SVM destination volumes writable and enables you to serve data to clients.

Steps

  1. If the source cluster is accessible, verify that the SVM is stopped: navigate to Storage > Storage VMs and check the State column for the SVM.

  2. If the source SVM state is "Running", stop it: select kabob icon and choose Stop.

  3. On the destination cluster, locate the desired protection relationship: navigate to Protection > Relationships.

  4. Click kabob icon and choose Activate Destination Storage VM.
