Data ONTAP 8.2 Reference - snapmirror abort

Description

The snapmirror abort command stops SnapMirror transfers that might have started and have not finished. A SnapMirror transfer is an operation on a given SnapMirror relationship, and the relationship is identified by its destination volume. You identify the SnapMirror relationship with this command and the command aborts the transfer for the relationship, and for load-sharing mirrors, transfers for associated relationships.

Load-sharing mirrors are either up to date and serving data to clients, or they are lagging and not serving data to clients. If the snapmirror abort command identifies an up-to-date load-sharing mirror, then SnapMirror transfers to the up-to-date load-sharing mirror and associated up-to-date load-sharing mirrors in the set of load-sharing mirrors are aborted. If the snapmirror abort command identifies a lagging load-sharing mirror, then only the SnapMirror transfer associated with the lagging load-sharing mirror is aborted.

After the snapmirror abort command successfully completes its operation, the volume on the receiving side of the transfer might contain a restart checkpoint. The restart checkpoint can be used by a subsequent transfer to restart and continue the aborted SnapMirror transfer.

This command is supported for SnapMirror relationships with the field "Relationship Capability" showing as either "8.2 and above" or "Pre 8.2" in the output of the snapmirror show command.

The use of wildcards in parameter values is not supported from the source Vserver or cluster for relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "8.2 and above".

You can use this command from the source or the destination Vserver or cluster for FlexVol volume relationships or Infinite Volume relationships.

Parameters

{ -source-path | -S {<[vserver:]volume>|<[cluster:][//vserver/]volume>} - Source Path

Specifies the source endpoint of the SnapMirror relationship in one of two path formats. The normal format includes the names of the Vserver (vserver) and volume (volume). To support relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2", a format which also includes the name of the cluster (cluster) is provided. The "Pre 8.2" format cannot be used when operating in a Vserver context.

| -source-cluster <cluster_name> - Source Cluster

Specifies the source cluster of the SnapMirror relationship. If this parameter is specified, the -source-vserver and -source-volume parameters must also be specified. This parameter is only applicable for relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2". This parameter cannot be specified when operating in a Vserver context.

-source-vserver <vserver name> - Source Vserver

Specifies the source Vserver of the SnapMirror relationship. If this parameter is specified, parameters -source-volume and for relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2", -source-cluster must also be specified.

-source-volume <volume name> } - Source Volume

Specifies the source volume of the SnapMirror relationship. If this parameter is specified, parameters -source-vserver and for relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2", -source-cluster must also be specified.

{ -destination-path {<[vserver:]volume>|<[cluster:][//vserver/]volume>} - Destination Path

Specifies the destination endpoint of the SnapMirror relationship in one of two path formats. The normal format includes the names of the Vserver (vserver) and volume (volume). To support relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2", a format which also includes the name of the cluster (cluster) is provided. The "Pre 8.2" format cannot be used when operating in a Vserver context.

| -destination-cluster <cluster_name> - Destination Cluster

Specifies the destination cluster of the SnapMirror relationship. If this parameter is specified, parameters -destination-vserver and -destination-volume must also be specified. This parameter is only applicable for relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2". This parameter cannot be specified when operating in a Vserver context.

-destination-vserver <vserver name> - Destination Vserver

Specifies the destination Vserver of the SnapMirror relationship. If this parameter is specified, parameters -destination-volume and for relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2", -destination-cluster must also be specified.

-destination-volume <volume name> } - Destination Volume

Specifies the destination volume of the SnapMirror relationship. If this parameter is specified, parameters -destination-vserver and for relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2", -destination-cluster must also be specified.

[-hard | -h [true]] - Discard Restart Checkpoint

If this option is specified true, the restart checkpoint is discarded and the destination volume is restored to the last Snapshot copy that was successfully transferred. You can use the -hard option to discard the restart checkpoint of a previous transfer attempt which forces the subsequent transfer to start with a fresh Snapshot copy on the destination volume. This option can only be used from the destination Vserver or cluster.

[-foreground | -w [true]] - Foreground Process

This specifies whether the operation runs as a foreground process. If this parameter is specified, the default setting is true (the operation runs in the foreground). When set to true, the command will not return until the process completes. This parameter is only applicable to relationships with "Relationship Capability" of "Pre 8.2".
