Snapmirror.access host=xxx

nsitps1976 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:52:16 GMT

Both src and dest can resolve each other via hosts file – If I use the hostname in the snapmirror.access option I receive access denied, however of I use the IP address then the dest filer can access the src.

I would like to use names rather than IPs. Am I missing something here? Is this something to do with reverse lookup etc??

It sounds like "options snapmirror.checkip.enable"... if set to on then snapmirror resolves the host name to the ip. Is it set to off and does switching to on resolve the issue?

From the CLI do "rdfile /etc/hosts" and make sure there aren't any weird characters in there causing problems for you.

Ok, I have tried changing “options snapmirror.checkip.enable” without success. I have also double checked the /etc/hosts file entry.

The source filer is a vfiler and I have configured snapmirror from within the vfiler (not the host system, vfiler0), I am wondering if it is an issue with vfilers, Scott???

Do you think vfiler0 needs the same /etc/hosts entry as vfilerxx?

Did you check the options in the vfiler? Snapmirror.checkip.enable is also a vfiler option.. Also snapmirror.access.

Also can you ping from the vfiler and to the vfiler?

Yes I have set all options from within the vfiler and I can also ping to and from the vfiler (I can snapmirror from the vfiler if I use the destination IP address).

Really odd...the name resolves but doesn't work for snapmirror. If you "telnet ip 10566" you will get a response since it works by ip, but what happens if you "telnet hostname 10566" ? I am sure you checked, but nslookup responds the same way from a host for ip and host?

Sorry, my mistake! Although I did check the hosts via cifs/wordpad, when I checked with rdfile the name was appended with the local filer name!

This is either/or. /etc/snapmirror.allow is used only if snapmirror.access is set to “legacy”. Otherwise it is ignored.

Thanks to everybody all of my friends but how can i set snapmirror.access to "legacy"

Previous state

>options snapmirror.access ----->enter

legacy

but i change by entering >options snapmirror.access host=host1

Now it is >options snapmirror.access

snapmirror.access host=host1

so how can i go to my previous state like

>options snapmirror.access ----->enter

legacy

Plz help me bcz i made it in production as i m a new to this technology but already the snapmirror.allow file is exists with the same host name what i entered in the snapmirror.access file.

Thanks

saroj
