How to preserve NFS file handles and volume MSIDs with SVM-DR
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- SnapMirror
- Storage Virtual Machine Disaster Recovery (SVM DR)
Description
- This article outlines how to determine if NFS file handles and volume MSIDs are being preserved with SVM-DR and how to correct it when needed
- Preserving NFS file handles and volume MSIDs is required with SVM-DR to prevent the need to re-mount in a disaster recovery scenario
- Prior to ONTAP 9, volume MSIDs were not preserved by default
| The exception to this is, vserver root volumes. Vserver root volumes only preserve MSIDs and not file handles. |
