Hmmm fsid is something to keep in mind. I can do a couple of tests vols later to see what happens.

Thanks for the feedback all!

Thanks, John stoffel

Hi,

so that all my clients see (on a read-only volume) is a quick outage or pause in NFS traffic, then they just continue on using tools and such as usual.

Or will I be forced to reboot all of my client machines one by one? Which will be truly truly truly painful...

The trick is to keep the fsid the same. I doubt the steps you outline will do that. Is it possible to tell a filer to use a particular fsid for a volume? (I guess snapmirror does not change inodes, what is also needed here.)

Grtnx,
