DestinationVol NFS mount : denied on ESXi by permission

configuring DP Snapmirror with DataONTAP. I want to temporarily mount NFS on the DestinationVol side for ESXi DataStore.

In this case, should I do "Snapmirror break"? Or have to "Snapmirror delete"?

* SourceVol side has no problem sharing NFS.

*The basic settings such as junction path policy and data protocol are consistent with the source side.

In this case i'd do break.    

 

Though why not just spinning off a flexclone from the destination volume and sharing that out?

Thank you! !
I have never used FlexClone, but I will consider it.

They're pretty easy to use.    

 

Some additional info for you:

If you want to temporarily mount the volume, you can pause the relationship with snapmirror quiesce, then disconnect the relationship with snapmirror break, and then mount the mount-volume to a path

With flexclone you need to be careful:

You can create a FlexClone volume from the source or destination volume in an existing volume SnapMirror relationship. However, doing so could prevent future SnapMirror replication operations from completing successfully.

Replication might not work because when you create the FlexClone volume, you might lock a Snapshot copy that is used by SnapMirror. If this happens, SnapMirror stops replicating to the destination volume until the FlexClone volume is destroyed or is split from its parent. You have two options for addressing this issue:

  • If you require the FlexClone volume on a temporary basis and can accommodate a temporary stoppage of the SnapMirror replication, you can create the FlexClone volume and either delete it or split it from its parent when possible.

    The SnapMirror replication continues normally when the FlexClone volume is deleted or is split from its parent.

  • If a temporary stoppage of the SnapMirror replication is not acceptable, you can create a Snapshot copy in the SnapMirror source volume, and then use that Snapshot copy to create the FlexClone volume. (If you are creating the FlexClone volume from the destination volume, you must wait until that Snapshot copy replicates to the SnapMirror destination volume.)

    This method of creating a Snapshot copy in the SnapMirror source volume allows you to create the clone without locking a Snapshot copy that is in use by SnapMirror.
