There’s a way to do it and our SE actually wrote the tech doc I believe. I’ve done it a few times and it works, but after the change to NOW a few years ago the site has become nearly worthless; I can’t find
the reference for it anymore by any obvious search string.
I also can’t recall the exact order of snapshots that need to be taken, but it’s really as simple as creating a common one across all 3 volumes and using that to resync after the migrate. But it is very important
to not miss a step or it’s all for naught.
Support should be able to find the doc, or maybe even the guy who wrote it will see your post….

Subject: Changing snapmirror destination to a new filer
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
