Sounds about right. there is no QSM into or on cDOT.
The other option you have, if space is not an issue, you could do multiple VSM and then delete what you do not want in each.
Use 8.3 or higher and the Snapmirror transition guide in the Documents section and no need to worry about it be "hacky" as Basil indicated in his use.

I'm migrating a bunch of volumes from a 7 mode filer, to CDOT.
For various reasons, I'd _like_ to split these volumes apart prior to migration - mostly around filecount. We have a few qtrees with really high file counts, and generally they don't make sense to group together anyway.
So - what I'm thinking is:
QSM from source qtree to 'staging' volume within filer. VSM from staging volume to CDOT TDP volume.
Should I be able to do this, or is there a better way?
Ideally - I'd like to avoid a 'double cutover' scenario. My 'plan B' involves just creating about 10 replicas of the source volume, and - post cutover - delete all the stuff I didn't need from each of them, but this seems a suboptimal solution. (I think I have the same problem, in that I can't lower the inodes of the volume, so I'll have 10 volumes with 100M+ inodes, instead of 10 with considerably fewer)
It certainly seems like a TDP snapmirror doesn't work when a QSM is inbound to the volume in question - but a break and resync _might_ do the trick? (trying to do that now)
Is there a better approach I should be taking?
