Hi, Everyone
Thank you for your reply last time.
I'm considering the migration separately from the design, so I asked the question.
This time, we are considering data migration using Snapmirror.
The current configuration is below.
A. Production storage (current)
Ontap: 9.5P6
FAS8020
Usage for migration: FileServer (CIFS/NFS), ProfileServer (CIFS, NFS)
B. Backup storage (current)
Ontap: 9.5P6
FAS2554
C. New production storage
Ontap 9.11P3
AFF250
Now from A to B,
Snapmirror is implemented.
In order to avoid the current business impact as much as possible, data migration to the new production storage
We are considering migrating from B to C using Snapmirror.
(It's a Snapmirror cascade.)
I am considering implementing the following flow, but is it correct?
Are there any other points to note?
1. Backup storage (current) Ontap version upgrade (9.5 → 9.7)
We expect to update to a version that supports Snapmirror to 9.11.
Since it is an OEM product and the minimum version that can be downloaded from the support site is 9.7, this version is used.
2. Snapmirror implementation from B to C
Create and implement a peer relationship between the cluster and svm. Assuming XDP.
Since various operations are performed only on B and C, it is assumed that there will be no operation or impact on A.
After version upgrade of B, SnapMIrror from Ontap:9.5(A) to Ontap:9.7(B) is also supported configuration.
