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
snapmirroredstate - ONTAP always retries aborted SnapMirrors after takeover/giveback as SnapMirror transfer can be aborted by takeover/giveback action
- SnapMirror relationships that are in an
uninitializedstate will not retry after the reboot - SnapMirror relationships in an
uninitializedstate will start to transfer, picking up from the checkpoint, only when asnapmirror initializecommand is run for them
Additional Information
snapmirror quiescewill prevent SnapMirrors from updating, including retries after a takeover/givebacksnapmirror resumewill need to be run to allow updates again
