Upgrade snapmirrorred units

[JosepM]

Hello.

I have a couple of boxes with snapmirror (2 SVM) in sync.

I would like to upgrade both of them. I tried to start upgrade on DR unit but it faile because one lif is not at home (and it can't be returned to home) because is the LIF that should be used in disaster event.

I tried to quiesce both snapmirror tasks but the issue is still the same.

Also I tried to put status-admin for the lif on down. But always the same error:

Error: command failed: This operation is not permitted on a Vserver that is configured as the destination for identity preserve Vserver DR.

Any help will be appreciated to fix this issue and proceed with the upgrade,

Hi @JosepM 

Not sure if you've had a look at our KB Site for some answers (https://kb.netapp.com). You may have already tried that.

There are a couple of extra steps via CLI if you need to change attributes of your SVM DR - https://kb.netapp.com/onprem/ontap/os/How_to_modify_the_home-port_of_the_LIF_in_the_destination_of_SVM_Disaster_Recovery
