QUESTION - Specific SnapMirror events

emanuel — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:05:08 GMT

Hello all

I am being asked about alerting for specific snapmirror events. I looked at my 4.0 DFM ( 40D2 ) installation and queries the events:

[root@sjcfilermon01 ~]# dfm eventType list | grep mirror

snapmirror:not-scheduled Normal sm.state

snapmirror:not-working Error sm.state

snapmirror:off Normal sm.state

snapmirror:possible-problem Warning sm.state

snapmirror:unknown-state Warning sm.state

snapmirror:working Normal sm.state

[root@sjcfilermon01 ~]#

If you look here - http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/DFM_win/rel40/html/software/opsmgr/GUID-BEAFFA1B-6405-4A3D-8A22-8C38ED98394D.html … you can see many events but when you query DFM for events for snapmirror, only six appear.

My question is; can i alarm for specific events like "Update Completed" or "Initialize Completed" as examples.

Just change your grep you will find the rest of the events.

[root@lnx ~]# dfm eventtype list | grep -i snapmirror

Arg look at that ... okay so in the GUI these are not appearing ... this means i need to use the command line to create a specific alarm for any of these specific events?

Hi emanuel,

I can see them in the GUI too, and the first post you made shows output from cli.

Attached is the screenshot of the gui.

interesting; there must be a reason why i am not seeing it at my customer site; is there a license issue on the controllers i have to be aware of or is it i am only on 4.0D2 and i need to upgrade to the lastest patch?

seeing is believing and these questions will be discussed on a phone call as a general session so i have time to use a DFM server here in the labs to double check

On the full event list posted, what is meant or can you fully define what the following are noting what is and is not working?

snapmirror:not-working Error sm.state
snapmirror:working Normal sm.state

So what is working, the mirror, the update itself or something else?
