If you use VSM, just establish VSM between vol1 on drfiler1 to vol1 (or whatever) on drfiler2, wait until it has completed initialization and then break it and do snapmirror resync from filer1 to drfiler2. There is some KB articles which detail how to do it … e.g. this one describes how to move destination inside a filer, but it works exactly the same across filers as well: https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=3011714.

Hi,
We currently 3 filers, and are looking to move a snap mirrored volume to another filer, we would like to do this without having to recreate a new snapmirror and all the traffic associated with with it.
The example is:
Filer1 has Vol1 witch is snap mirrored to drfiler1 Vol1
We would like to copy/move Vol1 on drfiler1 to drfiler2, and continue with it being a snap mirror of Vol1 on Filer1, without having to reinitialise the snap mirror
Drfiler1 and Drfiler2 are both on the same site so we have no bandwidth restrictions.
Is this possible and could someone point me in the right direction of how to do it.
Thanks
Matt
