Serving data from an SVM DR destination

When disaster disables the primary site for an SVM DR relationship, you can serve data from the destination SVM with minimal disruption. You can reactivate the source SVM when service is restored at the primary site.

  • SVM disaster recovery workflow
    To recover from a disaster and serve data from the destination SVM, you must activate the destination SVM. Activating the destination SVM involves stopping scheduled SnapMirror transfers, aborting ongoing SnapMirror transfers, breaking the replication relationship, stopping the source SVM, and starting the destination SVM.
  • Making SVM destination volumes writeable
    You need to make SVM destination volumes writeable before you can serve data to clients. The procedure is largely identical to the procedure for volume replication, with one exception. If you set -identity-preserve true when you created the SVM replication relationship, you must stop the source SVM before activating the destination SVM.
