The Failback to Source SVM workflow enables you to select the required clusters and SVMs for re-creating or reactivating the source SVM if a disaster occurs.
About this task
You should have the following input parameters available for executing the workflow:
- Cluster name
- SVM name and existing SVM details
- SnapMirror schedule details
- SnapMirror policy details
Steps
- Log in to WFA by providing the necessary credentials.
- Click .
Tip: You can use the filter (
) to locate the workflow.
- Click the Execute icon ().
The Execute Workflow 'Failback to the Source SVM' dialog box is displayed.
- Select the destination cluster.
- Select the destination SVM.
- Select the Do you want to preserve identity? check box to replicate the preserve identity to the destination SVM.
- Select the source cluster.
- Create a new SVM or select an existing SVM by choosing one of the following:
- Select the Do you want to create a new SVM? check box to create a new SVM and expand New Storage Virtual Machine Details to provide the SVM details.
- Select the existing SVM from the Source SVM drop-down list and expand Existing Storage Virtual Machine Details to provide the SVM details.
- Create a new SnapMirror schedule or select an existing schedule by choosing one of the following options:
- Select the Do you want to create a new schedule? check box to create a new schedule and enter the SnapMirror schedule details.
- Select the existing schedule for the SnapMirror relationship from the Existing Schedule drop-down list and enter the SnapMirror schedule details.
- Select the Do you want to create SnapMirror policy? check box to create a SnapMirror policy and enter the policy details.
- Optional: Click Preview to validate your workflow before executing it.
- Click Execute.
You can also schedule the workflow for execution at a later date and time by selecting the Choose date and time for execution check box.
After you finish
You should verify the DR relationship is working correctly in the source SVM by running the snapmirror show and vserver show commands in the destination cluster.
