Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • SnapMirror
  • SVM-DR
  • SnapMirror Synchronous 

Answer

  • The following message  can be found in the upgrade plan:
Suspending SnapMirror operations   WARNING  Cluster Cluster01 is running SnapMirror.
To prevent SnapMirror transfers from failing, you must suspend SnapMirror operations and upgrade destination nodes before upgrading source nodes.
(i) Suspend SnapMirror transfers for a destination volume
(ii) Upgrade the node that contains the destination volume
(iii) Upgrade the node that contains the source volume
(iv) Resume the SnapMirror transfers for the destination volume.
Note: SnapMirror transfers for all other destination volumes can continue while the nodes that contain the original destination and source volumes are upgraded.
  • It is not recommended to bypass the AIQ Upgrade Advisor warning
  • make sure the ONTAP versions are supported to have SnapMirror between them
