Resuming data replication for the entire filer
Description
After you disable data replication, you can resume it at any time. When data replication resumes, the filer copies the data from the source volume to the mirror that has changed since the last update.
Prerequisites
In addition to the requirements described in "Prerequisites", you must meet these requirements before you can resume data replication:
- The mirror must have snapmirrored status. If you converted the mirror to a regular volume, the filer cannot resume data replicating on the regular volume. If you want to use the regular volume as a mirror again, follow the procedure in "Replicating a volume" so that the filer can create a baseline version of the mirror. Do not try to assign the snapmirrored status to the volume, because you cannot set the snapmirrored volume option to On.
- If the mirror never lost the snapmirrored status but you took the mirror off-line, you must put it back on-line.
Step
Follow this step to resume data replication for the entire filer.
