Snapshot reversation on Snapmirror SnapVault destination volume

Hi Guys,

Just want to understand though my question could be a silly one,

do we require to keep any snapshot reserve for the SnapMirror/SnapVault destination volume. since the snapvault or snapmirror keeps the replicated data at the destination volume. is it a good idea to configure for snapshot reserve on the destination volume.

regards

We do not have any requirement to set any extra snapshot reserve on snapmirror or snap vault destination volume.

As per the TR-3487 snapvault guide the recommonded snap reserve for snapvault destination volume is zero.

"3. Optional (recommended): Set the Snapshot reserve to zero on the SnapVault destination volume.
