Answer

Yes. When the -identity-preserve option is set to false, the volumes in destination SVM can be used for read-only access by starting SVM after the initial transfer is complete.

::> vserver start -vserver <DESTINATION_SVM>

Notes:

  1. Source and destination SVM cannot run at the same time when the -identity-preserve option is set to true
  2. Configure the destination volume for data access is required.
  3. Since starting the Vserver (SVM) may cause SVM-DR jobs to fail, please consider stopping SnapMirror jobs in advance.
  4. NetApp does not recommend keeping the SVM-DR destination SVM in the running state for an extended period of time.
  5. Please run SVM-DR jobs while the SVM is in the stopped state.

Additional Information

In all of the scenarios below, the step “Stop the Destination SVM” is required：
