Converting and Making a Secondary qtree Read/Write

The following steps need to be performed to convert an OSSV or SnapVault secondary backup destination to a usable/writable destination (typically for DR situations):


1. Secondary: Turn SnapMirror and SnapVault off.


2. Secondary: Switch to privileged mode (priv set diag).


3. Secondary: Convert SnapVault qtree to SnapMirror qtree (snapmirror convert ).


4. Secondary: Turn SnapMirror on.


5. Secondary: Quiesce the qtree.


6. Secondary: Break the mirror, making it writable.


7. Secondary: Turn SnapVault on.

    What if you do not have the Snapmirror licence and are only using Snapvault (OnTap 8.2)?

    Well...

    What I just did was to create a new volume, replicate the qtrees, and then ndmpcopied qtree contents from the snapvaulted qtrees to the non-snapvaulted qtrees. I then renamed the hosting volumes and re-created the shares.
