The vxsfadm command can be used in case primary role is migrated or failed over to the secondary site. File system level snapshots, Storage Checkpoints, and FileSnap snapshots created on primary site are available on secondary site after transfer of replication primary role from primary to secondary. However, volume level snapshots (third-mirror break-off and space-optimized) are not usable on the new primary site. For the vxsfadm command to work after role transfer, you must validate the snapshot configuration generated on the primary site, on the replication or secondary site. The vxsfadm command can also be used in case primary role is transferred back to the original primary host.
