Decrease the size of a cifs volume with a SnapMirror Relationship by shrinking it

Shock — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 16:11:28 GMT

I would like to shrink a cifs volume that has a SnapMirror Relationship Associated with it. It does not contain Tier One Production Data, so we are okay with having to break the SnapMirror and recreating it if necessary.

What would be the proper procedures for doing this using OnCommand System Manager?

Break SnapMirror
Shrink volume by using the Volume Resize Wizard
Create a new SnapMirror Relationship

Shock -

I don't think you even have to break the mirror.

Shrink the source first, then the destination...

I hope this response has been helpful to you.
