Can a source vfiler has more than one vfiler DR at the same time?

tatlee — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:07:26 GMT

Hi all,

Is it possible to setup 2 vfiler DR in different sites for the same source vfiler? And the rplication is Fibre channel?

Or is it possible to have a snapmirror source replicating the same volume with one destination in sync mode (running FC) and the other in async mode ?

Regards,

Terrence

Yes you can setup 2 vfiler DR in different sites for the same source vfiler. You just have to make sure their replication schedule do not interfere with each other.

I presume you have you got a snapmirror fiber channel interface on all three controllers in all three sites. You need three Controllers.

Site 1 FAS1 Controller1 vfiler

Site 2 FAS2 Controller1 dr vfiler1

Site 3 FAS3 Controller1 dr vfiler2
