Can anyone tell me the current instructions for NetApp Release 9.6P2
for pre-mounting the destination NAS volumes
Here are the older version instructions but the whole section for namespace is missing in 9.6p2
Breaking SnapMirror relationships
If a SnapMirror source volume becomes unavailable and you want to access the data from the SnapMirror destination volume, you must break the SnapMirror relationship. Access to the destination volume is changed from data protection (DP) to read/write (RW).
Before you begin
- The SnapMirror destination volume must be in the quiesced or idle state.
- The destination volume must be premounted into the destination Vserver namespace.
- Protocol access, such as CIFS, NFS, and iSCSI, must be configured on the destination Vserver to enable client access.
About this task
You can use the destination volume to serve data while you repair or replace the source, until you can reestablish the original SnapMirror relationship configuration.
SnapMirror relationships are listed and managed from the Vserver that contains the destination volume.
Steps
Result
After you finish
The best practice is to pre-mount the destination NAS volumes into the destination Vserver namespace as part of your disaster recovery configuration. If this was not done, you need to mount the volumes after breaking the SnapMirror relationship, to ensure that the volumes are accessible on the destination. You mount them into the namespace using the same junction path that the source volume was mounted to in the source Vserver. For details, see the task for mounting FlexVol volumes in the System Manager online Help.
