7mtt is really the way to go in this situation. 7mtt is really only creating and managing the schedules for the SnapMirror TDP copy jobs from the 8.1.4P10+> destination cluster system. I’m pretty sure that it supports migrating from any 7-mode system runnin 8.1.4P10 or higher (up to 8.2.4PX) to any current GA release of ONTAP CMode (and there are tricks to make it work with newer, non-GA releases too (9.6RC1) which NetApp support can tell you about if you open a case with them (sorry, not going to disclose this on an open forum.)
If you’re looking for a tertiary copy “just in case” something happens when you’re physically moving components have you considered setting up a clustered volumes ONTAP with AWS/Azure when you’re done with the cluster upgrade in the interim while the DR equipment is en-route?

Source is already 7mtt’d but shipping a 7 mode system and need a copy we can run from.
Concerned that if the 7mode system does not make the move well we would have to manually finish 7mtt.

Um... Use 7-mode transition tool from the support site
It allows one way TDP mirrors from 7-mode to any ONTAP release up to 9.5
It will not work with 9.6
No need to downgrade. Honestly to do that is a ton of work and not all platforms can go back that far anyway.
Your NetApp sales team really should have informed you about 7MTT.

Hello,
We are the middle of move planning and need to snapmirror some 7 Mode data.
The gear we have for the destination is from the factory with 9.5.
The usual netboot is throwing errors.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Carolyn
