Hi

 

ONTAP: 8.3.1P1

 

I've created several SnapMirror relationshsips via OnCommand System Manager and noticed that the data protection snapshots were not getting mirrored. I was using the DPDefault policy and changed to the MIrrorAllSnapshots policy, however the snaps still aren't getting mirrored. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Sorry, forgot to get back to this one.

 

The new terminology is confusing, you have a Relationship Type, a SnapMirror Policy Type and a SnapMirror Policy. It takes a while to get a hang of the concepts especially as the manuals don't really do a great job of explaining things. 

 

I did resolve it more or less along the lines that you suggested.

 

  1. Modified the existing relationship to SnapMirror policy XDPDefault
  2. Completed a SnapMirror update specifying one of the older snapshots
  3. Modified the SnapMirror policy back to MirrorAllSnapshots
  4. A subsequent snapmirror update relciated all the older snapshots

Thanks,

 

Ty
