Hi Keith,
i have to declare some points. I use QSM Snapmirror. In a QSM Snapmirror destination it is possible to create a r/w lun clone. Sorry for my late answer, but i haven't found a time window to check all this things.
QSM Config:
abgvsnap1x:/usr/local/scServer3.5.0/configs/patest # ssh abgnanst03x snapmirror status
Snapmirror is on.
Source Destination State Lag Status
abgnastor01x:/vol/stor01_lin_TEST_patest/test abgnanst03x:/vol/nst03_lin_TEST_patest/test Snapmirrored 00:03:23 Idle
My temporary solution is, that i use a own Script :

Result:
abgvsnap1x:/usr/local/scServer3.5.0/configs/patest # ssh abgnanst03x lun show
/vol/nst03_lin_TEST_patest/luntest1_cl 9g (9663676416) (r/w, online, mapped)
/vol/nst03_lin_TEST_patest/test/luntest1 9g (9663676416) (r/o, online)
My wish ( it,s Christmas time ) that i could do this without my helpscripts. With other Words: please support lun clone on a secondary site if QSM is used.
Reasons for this: To check a Backup consitency on another host without touching anything in the snapmirror environment.
Regards and a happy new year
