Initializing a vault relationship
You can initialize a vault relationship if you have not already initialized while creating the relationship. A baseline transfer of data is initiated from the source FlexVol volume to the destination FlexVol volume.
Steps 
1.
From the home page, double-click the appropriate storage system.
2.
Expand the Storage Virtual Machines hierarchy in the left navigation pane.
3.
In the navigation pane, select the Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) that contains the destination volume and click Protection.
4.
Select the relationship you want to initialize, and click Operations > Initialize.
5.
In the Initialize window, click Initialize.
If System Manager is unable to retrieve the cached credentials of the destination cluster, you are prompted to enter the credentials.
Result 
A Snapshot copy is created and transferred to the destination.
This Snapshot copy is used as a baseline for subsequent incremental Snapshot copies.
