Editing snapmirror.conf on ONTAP 9.1

frank_iro — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 11:21:34 GMT

So, probably a simple question with a simple response

I need to edit snapmirror.conf on a snapmirror destination running ONTAP 9.1. I understand I should be able to access all root configuration files via the SVM's C$ share. However, this location is empty! How do I access & edit this file?

Thanks!

Hi,

This file no longer applies in cDOT/ONTAP. It was only for the 7-mode data ontap.

Any changes that you wish to make to relationship can now be done dynamically via commands (gui as well).

Thanks!

Like Ontapforrum said, it's no longer done that way in (clustered) ONTAP. Here's a good place to start as far as understanding and configuring.
