Answer

  • No, an initial transfer is not required.
  • A resync between the endpoints needs to be performed.
  • A summary of the process includes:
  1. Break the SnapMirror volume relationship from the destination cluster.
  2. Delete the SnapMirror volume relationship.
  3. Create a new SnapMirror relationship using one of the built-in policies (all built-in policies use XDP relationship type), or create a custom policy with the -type XDP parameter, between the same endpoints with one of the default SnapMirror unified replication policies.
  4. Perform a resync operation between the endpoints. This resync converts the relationship to a SnapMirror unified replication configuration without having to perform a re-baseline.
