Summary

Initialize a SnapMirror relationship by starting an initial data transfer on an existing SnapMirror relationship in a NetApp ONTAP cluster.

Inputs

  • Cluster Host (required) — Hostname or IP address of the ONTAP cluster management LIF where the SnapMirror relationship exists.
  • Port — HTTPS port for the ONTAP REST API; defaults to 443.
  • Relationship (required) — The SnapMirror relationship to initialize, specified by its UUID.
  • Options — Optional parameters, including a comma-separated list of fields to include in the response (use '*' to include all fields).

Output shape

a JSON object containing the asynchronous job response representing the initialization transfer process

The operation triggers a POST request to start the transfer for the specified SnapMirror relationship. The response may include a job which is polled until completion, so the output reflects the final asynchronous job result or immediate job info if polling is disabled.

Examples

Example 1: Initialize a specific SnapMirror relationship

Provide the cluster host and optionally the port, then specify the relationship UUID to start its initialization transfer. Optionally specify fields to include in the response.
