snapmirror and snapvault on the same source volume to point to the same destination volume?

chagebusch — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 15:18:02 GMT

Can I set up a snapmirror and snapvault of the same source volume to point to the same destination volume?

I am on CDOT 8.3x and the literature seems to imply that this is possible but there is no discussion of HOW.

I have 80xx series filers and the first volume I want to protect this way is an NFS CIFS volume.

I do not have snapmanager or any snapcenter clients installed as of yet

Thank you.

There is a policy named mirror-vault that you can use. but these are not two independent relationships.

That is perfectly fine. I want DR recoverability and archival recoverability of that volume. (My tape backup solution has started corrupting .bak files for some reason.)

So I would create a snapmirror and apply the mirror-vault policy to it?
