snapmirror quiesce

Description​

The snapmirror quiesce command disables future transfers for a SnapMirror relationship. If there is no transfer in progress, the relationship becomes "Quiesced".

If there is a transfer in progress, it is not affected, and the relationship becomes "Quiescing" until the transfer completes. If the current transfer aborts, it will be treated like a future transfer and will not restart.

If applied to a load-sharing (LS) SnapMirror relationship, all the relationships in the load-sharing set will be quiesced.

If applied to a relationship with a policy of type strict-sync-mirror or sync-mirror, any ongoing operation is aborted, and if the relationship is InSync, synchronous replication is stopped. If the replication policy type is "strict-sync-mirror", then the primary client I/O disruption is not enforced. A new common Snapshot copy is created if the relationship is InSync, unless a recent one exists. The relationship becomes "Quiescing" until these operations complete.

When a SnapMirror relationship is quiesced, it remains quiesced across reboots and fail-overs.

The snapmirror quiesce command must be used from the destination Vserver or cluster.

The relationship must exist on the destination Vserver or cluster. When issuing snapmirror quiesce, you must specify the destination endpoint. The specification of the source endpoint of the relationship is optional.

Parameters​

{ [-source-path | -S {<[vserver:][volume]>|<[[cluster:]//vserver/]volume>|<hostip:/lun/name>|<hostip:/share/share-name>}] - Source Path

This parameter specifies the source endpoint of the SnapMirror relationship in one of four path formats. The normal format includes the names of the Vserver (vserver) and/or the volume (volume).

| [-source-cluster <Cluster name>] - Source Cluster

This parameter is not supported in ONTAP 9.4 and above.

[-source-vserver <vserver name>] - Source Vserver

This parameter is not supported in ONTAP 9.4 and above.

[-source-volume <volume name>]} - Source Volume

This parameter is not supported in ONTAP 9.4 and above.

{ -destination-path {<[vserver:][volume]>|<[[cluster:]//vserver/]volume>|<hostip:/lun/name>|<hostip:/share/share-name>} - Destination Path

This parameter specifies the destination endpoint of the SnapMirror relationship in one of four path formats. The normal format includes the names of the Vserver (vserver) and/or volume (volume).

| [-destination-cluster <Cluster name>] - Destination Cluster

This parameter is not supported in ONTAP 9.4 and above.

-destination-vserver <vserver name> - Destination Vserver

This parameter is not supported in ONTAP 9.4 and above.

-destination-volume <volume name>} - Destination Volume

This parameter is not supported in ONTAP 9.4 and above.
