Creating a SnapLock Compliance SnapMirror relationship

To create a SnapLock Compliance SnapMirror relationship, you need to use the snapmirror initialize command.

Steps

1. On the administration host, create or edit the snapmirror.conf file on the destination system to specify the SnapLock Compliance volume source and destination.

   Example

   The following entry specifies asynchronous mirroring from vol1 of s_system and vol2 of d_system using the default replication arguments.

   s_system:vol1 d_system:vol2 - * * * *

2. On the destination system console, enter the following command to create the destination volume:vol create vol2 2
   Note: Do not use the vol create -L command to create a SnapLock Compliance volume because SnapMirror cannot use it as a destination volume.

3. On the destination system console, enter the following command to mark the volume as restricted:vol restrictvol_name
4. On the destination system console, create an initial complete (baseline) copy of the source on the destination and enter the following command to start the mirroring process: snapmirror initialize -S s_system:vol1 d_system:vol2
