I am trying to setup snapmirror multipath but can't seem to get it working. When the primary network is down, the dest filer can't connect to the source filer.
source ip - 10.191.1.1
dest ip - 10.195.1.1
dest sec ip - 10.195.2.1
snapmirror.conf
960b=multi (10.191.1,1,10.195.1.1) (10.191.1.1,10.195.2.1)

I think the problem is when the dest primary nic is down (10.195.1.1), the dest filer still tries to use the default g/w (10.195.1.254) to get to the source. If I add a permanent route in the routing table on the dest filer to use 10.191.2.254 it will work. But this means the dest filer will will use 10.191.2.254 all the time to get to the source. This is not want it I want. I like the dest filer to use the default gateway (10.191.1.254) when the primary nic (10.191.1.1) is up. Use gateway 10.191.2.254 when the primary nic is down.
Any suggestions?
cheers,
Marcu
