Re: Need to quickly downgrade from 9.5 to 8.2.4

The point of 7mtt is to mirror to ONTAP and then cut-over. Yes, it is one
way but we have customers doing it quite frequently.
It is not a move, it is a SnapMirror (Transition Data Protection or TDP
Mirror).
As along as the mirror portions finish, cutting over is pretty straight
forward.

If something unforeseen happens and a manual cut-over has to happen, so be
it. It should not be too difficult.
