I will detail our procedure below so you have an understanding of what we are doing. All commands are run in powershell with the dataONTAP module imported.</P><P></P><P><STRONG>on source server</STRONG></P><P>we use sdcli to create a snapshot and update the mirror. </P><P>Check that the mirror has finished transferring</P><P></P><P><STRONG>On dest server</STRONG></P><P>quiesce snapmirror </P><P>break snapmirror</P><P>use sdcli to connect disk to initiators of the server</P><P></P><P>So my question, once the disk is in windows and the product team have tested it and want to fail back we have to run lun clone split status and wait for that to complete, before mirroring back. I wold expect to have to do this if i was splitting a flexclone from the parent volume but <STRONG>why does this happen when connecting to the LUN in a broken off snapmirror destination???? </STRONG>what is being done here and what triggers it? is there a way to mirror until it has finished? also how big will the top snapshot grow as the source volume is 4.5tb.</P><P></P><P>just as a fyi the @snapmir@..... snapshot says busy,lun and the one above it is growing in size.</P><P></P><P>sorry about all the questions, this is an area of netapp that i dont understand.</P><P></P><P>nick</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:43:02 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Connecting-to-a-LUN-in-a-broken-off-SnapMirror-Destination/m-p/63988#M15099 NICKDAVIES 2025-06-05T05:43:02Z Re: Connecting to a LUN in a broken off SnapMirror Destination https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Connecting-to-a-LUN-in-a-broken-off-SnapMirror-Destination/m-p/63993#M15100 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><DIV><P>Bump</P></DIV></BODY></HTML> Thu, 13 Feb 2014 08:27:46 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Connecting-to-a-LUN-in-a-broken-off-SnapMirror-Destination/m-p/63993#M15100 NICKDAVIES 2014-02-13T08:27:46Z Re: Connecting to a LUN in a broken off SnapMirror Destination https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Connecting-to-a-LUN-in-a-broken-off-SnapMirror-Destination/m-p/63997#M15101 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><DIV><P>Bump</P></DIV></BODY></HTML> Thu, 13 Feb 2014 08:27:55 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Connecting-to-a-LUN-in-a-broken-off-SnapMirror-Destination/m-p/63997#M15101 NICKDAVIES 2014-02-13T08:27:55Z Re: Connecting to a LUN in a broken off SnapMirror Destination https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Connecting-to-a-LUN-in-a-broken-off-SnapMirror-Destination/m-p/64001#M15102 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Do you need the lun split or can you destroy the lun after the test? Destroy instead of split and the busy will clear...or use the sis clone feature to use the dedup engine for the clone to not lock a snap.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 13 Feb 2014 21:10:55 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Connecting-to-a-LUN-in-a-broken-off-SnapMirror-Destination/m-p/64001#M15102 scottgelb 2014-02-13T21:10:55Z Re: Connecting to a LUN in a broken off SnapMirror Destination https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Connecting-to-a-LUN-in-a-broken-off-SnapMirror-Destination/m-p/64006#M15103 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>We would need the lun after to replicate back to orig source vol.</P><P></P><P>Would replicating from a flex clone work?</P><P></P><P>Nick Noot-Davies</P><P>Sent from my iPhone</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 14 Feb 2014 18:06:21 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Connecting-to-a-LUN-in-a-broken-off-SnapMirror-Destination/m-p/64006#M15103 NICKDAVIES 2014-02-14T18:06:21Z Re: Connecting to a LUN in a broken off SnapMirror Destination https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Connecting-to-a-LUN-in-a-broken-off-SnapMirror-Destination/m-p/64011#M15104 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Need a common snapshot for resync back though.</P><P></P><P>Sent from my iPhone 5</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 14 Feb 2014 19:16:33 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Connecting-to-a-LUN-in-a-broken-off-SnapMirror-Destination/m-p/64011#M15104 scottgelb 2014-02-14T19:16:33Z
