Create XDP Snapmirror using Powershell?

jimmer2880 — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:28:14 GMT

I'm attempting to create new snapmirror relationships with the XDP relationship type using powershell via New-NcSnapmirror. However when I enter "XDP" as the relationship type, I get an error that XDP type is unknown.

DOT version: 9.1P15

Does anyone know the correct type?

Try "vault" without the quotes as the type - this will create a version-flexible SnapMirror relationship (when it is paired with a version-flexible SnapMirror policy).

Hi,

The type for XDP is "vault". You can use "Get-Help New-NcSnapmirror -full" to view the possible options for the -Type parameter :

-Type <String>
Specifies the type of SnapMirror relationship. Possible values: dp, ls, vault, restore, transition_data_protection.

What volume type should I use? Previously, I was using "DP" when creating the destination volumes.

-Type <String>
The type of the volume to be created. Possible values:

rw - read-write volume (default setting)
ls - load-sharing volume
dp - data-protection volume
dc - data-cache volume (FlexCache)

The volume type is still "DP".
