Does aborted SnapMirror try to transfer again by takeover or giveback?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- SnapMirror
Answer
- Yes, it is expected behavior if the relationship is in a
snapmirrored
state - ONTAP always retries aborted SnapMirrors after takeover/giveback as SnapMirror transfer can be aborted by takeover/giveback action
- SnapMirror relationships that are in an
uninitialized
state will not retry after the reboot - SnapMirror relationships in an
uninitialized
state will start to transfer, picking up from the checkpoint, only when asnapmirror initialize
command is run for them
Additional Information
snapmirror quiesce
will prevent SnapMirrors from updating, including retries after a takeover/givebacksnapmirror resume
will need to be run to allow updates again
