I am trying to migrate a replicated volume to CDOT, but I can't use 7mtt. My plan is to set up a transition snapmirror and do the cutover manually. I can't start the regular snapmirror of the CDOT transition snapmirror target, though. I get "Using a transition volume as a snapmirror source volume is not supported". 

I have a long outage window, but would prefer to pre-seed the mirror of the new volume. What would you folks suggest?
