Hi,

After you break the relationship from the destination the reverse-resync appears in the More menu.

Hope this helps!

Hi, I have ONTAP System Manager 9.7 and can't see this option for "Reverse Resync":

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Hi,

Reverse resync from system manager gui is only supported from ontap >=9.8

"Starting in System Manager 9.8, you can perform a reverse resynchronization operation to delete an existing protection relationship and reverse the functions of the source and destination volumes. Then you use the destination volume to serve data while you repair or replace the source, update the source, and reestablish the original configuration of the systems."

In <=9.7 you have to use the CLI interface.

Hope this answers your question.
