How to enable compression in snapmirror.conf

Hi guys,

I read that compression mechanism for snapmirror comes with ontap 7.3.2

I tried to enable it, but with no luck.

According to documentation I edited snapmirror.conf on destination filer like this:

conection1=multi(netapp1,netapp2)
conection1:vol1 netapp2:vol1_rep kbs=5120,compression=enable * * * *

After that i'm getting error: Current Transfer Error: transfer from source not possible; snapmirror may be misconfigured, the source volume may be busy or unavailable.

My goal is to enable snapmirror from netapp1 filer (vol1) to netapp2 filer (vol1_rep) with 5120 kbs restriction on bandwidth, compression=enable and * * * * schedule.

Does anyone know how the snapmirror.conf should look like for this configuration?

Do i have to edit it on destination or source filer ?

Please help.

Roch
