Hi,

Help me understand the question. Are you trying to establish a qsm from 7 mode to cmode? QSM from 7 mode to Cmode is unsupported. You can only do a VSM.

Let me know if this answers your queries.

Thanks

i am trying qsm in 7mode , Because i am planning to move some of the qtree to one volume by using qsm , and qsm destination volume can be vsm to cluster mode volume

here i will have two cutover , frist i will do a final update on qsm 7mode , and then i will do one more final cutover to update qsm destination vol as a source and Cluster Volume as Destination using VSM

Hope it make sense to you..

So you are running a qtree consolidation to a staging volume on a 7mode controller, then using TDP volume snapmirror to migrate the staging volume to the cluster, but there is some issue with the TDP relationship. Correct?
