vol create destvol

vol restrict destvol

snapmirror initialize srcvol filer:destvol

*Note CIFS share details either from `cifs shares` or /vol/rootvol/etc/cifsconfig_share.cfg*

*Delete CIFS shares on the volume being migrated using `cifs shares -delete`*

snapmirror update destvol

snapmirror break destvol

*Recreate CIFS shares using `cifs shares -add` or adding details to /vol/rootvol/etc/cifsconfig_share.cfg and restarting CIFS*

*Confirm all data is in place*

snapmirror release srcvol filer:destvol
