destination filers in this file.)wrfile /etc/snapmirror.allow (Performed on the Source Filer. Overwrites the file

with the specified destination filer name and ip address)vol restrict volume_name (Performed on the Destination. Makes the destination

volume read only which must be done for volume based replication. Dont use forQtree based replication)

only)snapmirror initialize -S srcfiler/vol/vol1/- dstfiler:/vol/vol1/qtree (Performed on thedestination. Performs volume to qtree replication. Includes all luns, exports on

the source volume)snapmirror status (Shows the status of snapmirror and replicated volumes or

qtrees)

SnapMirror Replication. If you are removing the snapmirror relationship this is thefirst step.)

snapmirror break volume_name (Performed on Destination. Breaks ordisengages the SnapMirror Replication. If you are removing the snapmirror

relationship this is the second step followed by deleting the snapshot)snapmirror resync volume_name (Performed on Destination. When data is out ofdate, for example working off DR site and wanting to resync back to primary, only

performed when SnapMirror relationship is broken)snapmirror update -S srcfiler:volume_name dstfiler:volume_name (Performed on

Destination. Forces a new snapshot on the source and performs a replication,only if an initial replication baseline has been already done)

/etc/snapmirror.conf (edit or wrfile this file on the destination filer or vfiler to enterin a snapmirror schedule. i.e. srcfiler:vol1 dstfiler:vol1 15 * * * This will replicateevery 15 minutes. Each * represents a value. Starting from right to left you have


4/9

day of week, month, day of month, hour minute. Minute 0-59, hours 0-23, day-of-month 1-31, day-of-week 0 for Sunday 6 Saturday) Each value can only be a

number.)/vol/vfiler_vol/etc/snapmirror.conf (read or write this file for snapmirror

configurations on a vfiler. vfiler_vol being the first volume with the /etc in the

vfiler)priv set diag followed by snapmirror break -h followed by priv set. (If forsome reason you snapmirror relationship has been orphaned, meaning it doesnt

exist in snapmirror status on the source but does exist on the destination, youcan use these three commands to force the destination to become read/write.You can then do snap list and find the baseline snapshot for the destination.

Followed by snap delete of the baseline snapshot. This will remove thesnapmirror relationship if all else fails. Lastly dont forget to remove the entry

from snapmirror.conf)

vfiler_name -i 192.168.1.1Once the vfiler has this ip address in its config we can add it onto the interface
