If you use SnapMirror for data migration, after you synchronize the data between the
source volume and the mirror, convert the mirror to a regular volume. If you use Snap-
Mirror for disaster recovery, convert the mirror to a regular volume after the source
volume becomes unavailable. After the conversion, you can export the volume or cre-
ate a share for the volume so that network users can write to it in the same way as
they did to the source volume.
