Updating vFiler unit migration SnapMirror relationships

If you are migrating in offline mode, or in online mode with automatic cutover not enabled, after the migration start operation finishes, you can initiate an on-demand update of the SnapMirror relationships that were created as part of the migration start operation. This is an optional step in the vFiler migration process.

Before you begin

Verify that the vFiler unit's migration status is "Started, cutover required."

You must be authorized to perform all the steps of this task; your RBAC administrator can confirm your authorization in advance.

About this task

This operation is useful if a scheduled update fails, which causes the lag time of the SnapMirror relationships to increase to an undesirable length.

Steps

  1. From the menu bar, click Hosts > vFiler Units.
  2. Select a vFiler unit and click Update to update the SnapMirror relationships that were created as part of the migration start operation.
  3. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box to begin the operation.

    You can track the progress of the operation in the Jobs window.

After you finish

To continue the migration, you must manually initiate the migration cutover operation at a convenient time.
