Did you do a "dfbm primary dir relinquish <primary-directories>..." first? That will release these relationships from the OM database. Then you rediscover the relationships on the new NearStore and finally use the dfbm primary dir add to re-add them back to the datasets as needed.
Also make sure you stop the reaper process first dfm option set dpReaperCleanupMode Never
hope that helps -n

Greetings,
We have a 3.8 version of OM/DFM that has been managing backups from multiple sites to a NearStore. We just moved the shelves to a different NearStore yesterday due to disk count limitations. Everything went well except OM will not recognize the new destination for the relationships.
A snapvault status on the secondary shows all the relationships and the aggregates and volumes are online. We did a snapvault start -S of the relationships, a snapvault update, and also a snapvault release on the primaries. The primaries all show the correct relationships.
OM can see the new destination filer and all the volumes, so it has access. It has also figured out the original NearStore volumes and relationships are not there because it removed them, and also emptied the schedules of any backup relationships.
We tried a "Add new backup" which seemed to have worked except it did an Initialize of the relationship according to the snapmirror log file and seems to have done a baseline. We cannot re-baseline all of these relationships.
Does anyone know how to get these relationships into OM without having to do a new baseline?
Thanks,
Jeff
