You must ensure that the destination storage system can support the disaster recovery vFiler unit.
If the destination volumes... | Then... |
---|---|
Have enough space | Go to the Step 3. |
Do not have enough space |
|
The volumes to be used by the destination vFiler unit must have the same path names as those used by the source vFiler unit.
If the destination storage system... | Then... |
---|---|
Has a volume whose path name matches the path name used by the source vFiler unit and the volumes to be used by the destination vFiler unit are not used by any other vFiler unit | Go to Step 4. |
Has a volume whose path name matches the path name of the source vFiler unit, but the volume is used by another vFiler unit | Perform one of the following steps:
|
Does not have any path name that matches the name used by the source vFiler unit or by volumes to be used by the destination | Perform one of the following steps:
For more information, see the Data ONTAP Storage Management Guide for 7-Mode. |
For disaster recovery, SnapMirror is used, and SnapMirror replicates qtree names from the source to the destination volume. Therefore, ensure that the qtree names on the source do not exist on the destination.
If there are... | Then... |
---|---|
Qtrees in the destination volumes that have names matching the names of qtrees in the source volumes | Rename the matching qtrees in the destination volumes. To rename a qtree, move it from a client the same way you move a directory or folder. For more information, see the Data ONTAP Storage Management Guide for 7-Mode. |
No matching qtree names in the destination volumes | Go to Step 5. |
To verify where quotas are being enforced from, enter the following command from the hosting storage system:
Quotas enforced from the vFiler unit are copied to the new vFiler unit, but quotas enforced from the hosting storage system are not copied.
If quotas for qtrees used by the vFiler unit... | Then... |
---|---|
Are being enforced | Go to the Step 7. |
Are not being enforced | You have completed checking the storage system. |
