You must meet this prerequisite if the source volume and the mirror reside on differ-
ent filers and you want the same quota restrictions to be applied after converting the
mirror to a regular volume:
The destination filer must have a /etc/quotas file that includes all entries from the /etc/
quotas file used by the source filer. If SnapMirror is used for data migration, you can
copy the /etc/quotas entries from the source filer to the /etc/quotas file of the destina-
tion filer before you convert the mirror to a regular volume. However, if SnapMirror is
used for disaster recovery, on the destination filer, keep a copy of all /etc/quot as
entries used by the source filer at all times so that you can apply the entries to the
destination volume when the source filer becomes unavailable.
