Snapmirror filer migration

[Willybobs27]

I have Filer A source and Filer B destination with VSM set up.

I migrate Filer A to Filer X and at the end of the process rename Filer X to Filer A.

How do I ensure that the existing Snapmirror relationships are maintained without the need of a new base line transfer?

i.e. The Snapmirror source and destination filer names don't change but the Physical source filer does.

Here you can get the tasks you should run to accomplish this mission: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/ontap/rel802/html/ontap/onlinebk/GUID-6C850BA4-E522-4F68-841F-D7E273ADE782.html

You need to do "snapmirror resync"; it will pick up the latest common snapshot and continue from it.

It works with just a snapmirror update too without a resync. Update snapmirror.conf and snapmirror.access for new names
