Netapp Snapmirror 7-Mode to Cluster Mode

To transition your volumes from Data Ontap 7-Mode to Data Ontap Clustered Mode o
r C-Mode you can use the following steps.
In the following example the Netapp 7-mode SAN is called NETAPP_7MODE (192.168.2
.10) and the Netapp Clustered Ontap system is called NETAPP_CMODE (192.168.1.10)
.
Both are running Data Ontap 8.2
Creating a Netapp Peer Transition
NETAPP_CMODE::> vserver peer transition create -local-vserver NETAPP_CMODE -srcfilers-name NETAPP_7MODE
Transition peering created
Create a Destination Volume
NETAPP_CMODE::> volume create -volume vmware_datastore1 -aggregate aggr1 -size 1
00GB -type DP
[Job 16] Job succeeded: Successful
Create an Netapp Intercluster LIF
NETAPP_CMODE::> network interface create -vserver NETAPP_CMODE -lif intcl_lif1 role intercluster -home-node NETAPP_CMODE -home-port a0a-10 -address 192.168.1.1
0 -netmask 255.255.255.0
NETAPP_CMODE::> network routing-groups route create -vserver NETAPP_CMODE -routi
ng-group i192.168.1.0/24 -destination 0.0.0.0/0 -gateway 192.168.1.1
Network Ping Test
NETAPP_CMODE::> network ping -lif intcl_lif1 -lif-owner NETAPP_CMODE -destinatio
n 192.168.2.10
192.168.2.10 is alive
Create a Netapp Snapmirror Relationship using TDP (Transition Relationship)
NETAPP_CMODE::> snapmirror create -source-path NETAPP_7MODE:vmware_datastore1 -d
estination-path NETAPP_CMODE:vmware_datastore1 -type TDP
Operation succeeded: snapmirror create the relationship with destination NETAPP_
CMODE:vmware_datastore1
Initialize the Snapmirror
NETAPP_CMODE::> snapmirror initialize -destination-path NETAPP_CMODE:vmware_data
store1
Operation is queued: snapmirror initialize of destination NETAPP_CMODE:vmware_da
tastore1
Snapmirror Status
NETAPP_CMODE::> snapmirror show OR snapmirror show -destination-path NETAPP_CMOD
E:vmware_datastore1
Snapmirror Update
NETAPP_CMODE::> snapmirror update -destination-path NETAPP_CMODE:vmware_datastor
e1
Snapmirror Quiesce

NETAPP_CMODE::> snapmirror quiesce -destination-path NETAPP_CMODE:vmware_datasto

re1
Snapmirror Resume (From Quiesced State)
NETAPP_CMODE::> snapmirror resume -destination-path NETAPP_CMODE:vmware_datastor
e1
Snapmirror break
NETAPP_CMODE::> snapmirror break -destination-path NETAPP_CMODE:vmware_datastore

Snapmirror Job Schedule
NETAPP_CMODE::> job schedule cron create -name Every15mins -minute 15
NETAPP_CMODE::> snapmirror modify -destination-path NETAPP_CMODE:vmware_datastor
e1 -schedule Every15mins
GOTCHA S
7-Mode iSCSI or FCP Luns If your source 7-mode volume contains iSCSI or FCP luns
, these cannot be transitioned to a Clustered Data Ontap SAN. You will see this
error in the SAN log:
wafl.voltrans.lun.exists: Volume vmware_datastore1@vserver:a0cc5791-fd70-11e2-9f
1f-123478563412 contains 7-Mode LUNs. It cannot be transitioned to Cluster-Mode.
You must manually copy the data or use an imaging software such as Shadow Protec
t or Symantec Backup and Imaging Software for example.
FS_FIXED_SIZE
Once your snapmirror has completed and you quiesce and break it th
e options fs_fixed_size is set to on by default. In cluster mode it prohibits yo
u to run the command vol options fs_fixed_size off, so you must run the followin
g command:
vol modify -vserver -volume -filesys-size-fixed false
