Migrate Aggregate to another cluster

Max-G — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:11:43 GMT

Hello,

On Ontap 9.1, I have a data aggregate located on a single shelf.

This aggregate contains DP and XDP destinations.

I want to move this aggregate to another cluster (same Ontap version).

How can I reassign my aggregate to the new cluster and reapply SnapMirror / Vault relationships?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Source: cluster A, Destination cluster B. New cluster: cluster C.

Currently you have cluster A -->cluster B.

You could cascade the snapmirror and snapvault relationships from destination cluster to the new cluster. Cluster B -->Cluster C

Once the replication is complete, you can break the mirror and resync with original source. Cluster A --> Cluster C

Hello,

Thanks for your answer

I know snapmirror cascading but I haven't enough space on cluster C, I want to migrate my aggregate with his data from B to C. (like in 7MTT Copy free)

do you know if it's possible?
