SnapMirror setup commands and configuration files

There are several commands and configuration files that enable you to set up SnapMirror replication.

Command or file Function
license add Enables the SnapMirror license on the source and destination storage systems.
options snapmirror.access

or

/etc/snapmirror.allow file
Specifies the host names of storage systems that are allowed to copy data directly from the source system.
Note: If both options snapmirror.access and /etc/snapmirror.allow file are used, options snapmirror.access takes precedence. This can also inhibit the initialization of SnapMirror.

snapmirror on

or

options snapmirror.enable
Enables SnapMirror on the source and destination storage systems.
vol create

vol restrict
In combination, create the restricted read-only volumes that are required as destinations for SnapMirror volume replications.
snapmirror initialize Begins the initial complete (baseline) SnapMirror Snapshot replication from a source volume or qtree to a destination volume or qtree.
