Hi ,

 

I want to know how snapmirror snaps are created at the source volume.Do we do anything additionally apart from making entries in snapmirror.conf .

I am not talking about volume level snapshots here example. nightly.0

 

Thanks 

Santosh

That's not correct.

 

Since you are talking 7-mode, you need to look at the snap sched commands 

 

snap sched vol0

 

snapmirror.conf only applies to the destination snapmirror to tell it when to mirror

Hi @JGPSHNTAP,

 

Thanks for the reply.

My actual question is the snapmirror snapshots which are created at the source to be replicated at the dest are created by snapmirror.conf ?

And if not by conf file then how snaps are created in source volume and then replicated
