SIM Snapmiror Reverse Resync

tuncay — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:35:51 GMT

Hi,

I want to make a test about Snapmirror reverse resync in 8.3 simulator. After I broke snapmirror relationship, I make reverse resync.

When I look from old source for snapmirror I am seeing fail message.

Is it because simulator or is there samething I am missing ?

Thanks,

Tuncay

Hello,

Thank you for reaching NetApp communities. May i know the procedure you have been following to re-sync ?

Check if transfer in progress asthere shouldn't be any ongoing transfer while performing re-sync.

1. comment out (#) the SM relationship which you want to reverse resync from the /etc/snapmirror.conf in the destination filer.

2. Break relationship from the destination. (snapmirror break filerDst:voldst)

3. Resync snapmirror relationship from source (snapmirror resync -S filerDst:voldst filersrc:volsrc)

4. Now use snapmirror update (snapmirror update -S filerdst:voldst filersrc:volsrc)

5. Check snapmirror status from original source. (There should be two snapmirror relationship for that volume)

6. Release the earlier snapmirror relationship on source (snapmirror release)

7. Create a new entry in /etc/snappmirror.conf file on the source filer (which is now a destination for this SM relationship).

Thanks,

Nayab
