When you activate a disaster recovery vFiler unit, a number of activities occur that replaces the original vFiler unit with the disaster recovery vFiler unit.
The vfiler dr activate command does the following:
- Breaks the SnapMirror relationships between the source and destination storage systems
- Converts the vFiler unit into an ordinary vFiler unit that can be started and that responds to all the commands vFiler units support
- Brings LUNs online
- Configures IP bindings on the destination vFiler unit according to the information you provided to the vfiler dr configure command, adding the destination IP information to the destination /etc/rc file. (Any IP information that pertains only to the source vFiler unit is removed from the destination /etc/rc file.)
- Configures the NIS and DNS servers according to the information you provided to the vfiler dr configure command.
- Configures any quota information saved by the vfiler dr configure command
