I opened up a case with NetApp about this, but I figured I should also post here and see what the community has to say.
In a nutshell, I have two separate clusters and a volume with home directories on Filer_A that I was snapvaulting to Filer_B.
During the hurricane, I had to shut down Filer_A, break the snapvault relationship on Filer_B to promote the volume to RW and then started to have everyone use Filer_B as their home.
Folks have been working on Filer_B for 3 or so months now but I am ready to flip back and make Filer_A the primary once again.
What are my options for basically taking all the new data as well as the snapshots that are on Filer_B and syncing them back to Filer_A, without losing any of the snapshots that currently exist on Filer_A?
Right now the only option that comes to mind is the use rsync and copy a snapshot from Filer_B to Filer_A, take a snapshot on Filer_A, and repeat that process over and over until they have all been recreated on Filer_A.
With that, does anyone have any better suggestions?
Thanks in advance
