Putting an aggregate into restricted state

You use the aggr restrict command to put the aggregate into a restricted state if you want the aggregate to be the target of an aggregate copy or SnapMirror replication operation.

Considerations

For information about aggregate copy and SnapMirror replication, see the Data Protection Online Backup and Recovery Guide.

Steps

If the aggregate you want to restrict contains FlexVol volumes, boot into maintenance mode.
Note: This step is not necessary for traditional volumes.
Enter the following command:aggr restrict aggr_name
If you previously booted into maintenance mode, return to normal mode.

The aggregate is now restricted. Data in the aggregate's volumes is unavailable to clients.
