Effect of the dump command on the SnapMirror destination update schedule

Running the dump command on a SnapMirror destination affects SnapMirror operations on that destination in several ways.

  • Scheduled incremental SnapMirror updates of a destination volume can occur concurrently with a dump command operation to tape; however, if a scheduled SnapMirror update to the destination volume involves the deletion of a Snapshot copy that the dump command operation is currently writing to tape, the SnapMirror update will be delayed until the dump command operation is complete.
    Note: SnapMirror updates of a destination qtree are not affected by dump command operations under any circumstances.
  • The operation of snapmirror break, snapmirror resync, and snapmirror migrate commands cannot be carried out concurrently with the operation of the dump command.
