cDOT Create new snapmirror relation using snapmirror-create API

nitish — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:44:26 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to create a perl script to create new snapmirror relations in clustered ONTAP 8.1.2

Below is the XML code i have built using "Zedi" tool.

I get an error while running this code:

results errno='13115' status='failed' reason='Element "source-cluster" within "snapmirror-create" has been excluded by another element.'/>

<snapmirror-create>

<destination-cluster>godzilla-mgmt</destination-cluster>

<destination-location>godzilla-mgmt://godzilla/voltron_voltron_0046r</destination-location>

<destination-volume>voltron_voltron_0046r</destination-volume>

<destination-vserver>godzilla</destination-vserver>

<relationship-type>data_protection</relationship-type>

<source-cluster>voltron-mgmt</source-cluster>

<source-location>voltron-mgmt://voltron/voltron_0046</source-location>

<source-volume>voltron_0046</source-volume>

<source-vserver>voltron</source-vserver>

</snapmirror-create>

Please guide what am i doing wrong above.

The documentation for source-location states:

When specifying a source endpoint, you must use either the source location, or the source cluster, source Vserver, and source volume.

It's not worded very clearly, but you should either specify source-location (in the form of [cluster:]//vserver/volume), or specify source-cluster, source-vserver, and source-volume. Don't specify both groups.

The same is true for the destination-location element.
