In this video, we will see what is Volume Rehost and how we can move or rehost volume from one SVM to another SVM in NetApp Cluster-Mode. In the later section, we will also move a CIFS volume from one SVM to another SVM via command line.
Below is the blog where you can read on this topic details.

What is Volume Rehost in NetApp Cluster Mode
Volume rehost enables you to reassign NAS or SAN volumes from one storage virtual machine (SVM, formerly known as Vserver) to another SVM without requiring a SnapMirror copy.
Volume rehost is a disruptive operation for data access. Hence you should get a downtime from the shareowner and then plan it within that downtime window.
Volume Eligible For Rehost In NetApp Cluster Mode
Rehosting CIFS volumes
Rehosting NFS volumes
Rehosting SAN volumes
Rehosting volumes in a SnapMirror relationship
Pre Check For Volume Rehost From In NetApp Cluster Mode
The volume must be online. Offline volume cannot be rehosted Volume management operations, such as volume move or LUN move, must not be running. Data access to the volume must be stopped. Destination SVM Configuration must match with Source SVM.
Post Steps Of Volume Rehost In NetApp Cluster Mode
After the rehost operation volume will lose Some configuration such as Antivirus policies, Volume efficiency policy, QOS, Snapshot policies, Quota rules, export policy and rules, User and group IDs. If any of the above features were there for rehosting volume them you must create these in destination SVM as well.
You also need to mount the volume and create new share. The good thing is that NTFS permission will be the same as it was in source SVM. The last thing is that you have to use destination SVM IP to access the shares.
Steps And Commands For Volume Rehost In NetApp Cluster Mode
Step 1. Collect information about the CIFS shares to avoid losing information on CIFS shares in case volume rehost operation fails.
Step 2. Unmount the volume In Source SVM:
volume unmount -vserver vs1 -volume vol1
Step 3. Rehost the volume on the destination SVM:
volume rehost -vserver vs1 -volume vol1 -destination-vserver vs2
Step 4. Mount the volume under the appropriate junction path in the destination SVM:
volume mount -vserver vs1 -volume vol1 -junction-path /vol1
Step 5. Create CIFS shares for the rehosted volume:
vserver cifs share create -share-name share1 -vserver vs1 -path /vol1
Step 6. Point the DNS Host entry to IP of New SVM.
