| State entry |
Description |
|---|
| Uninitialized |
The destination is listed in the /etc/snapmirror.conf file, but the volume or qtree has not been initialized or the destination is being initialized. |
| Snapmirrored |
The volume or qtree is in a SnapMirror relationship. |
| Broken-off |
The destination was in a SnapMirror relationship, but a snapmirror break command made the volume or qtree writable. This state is reported as long as the base Snapshot copy is still present in the volume. If the Snapshot copy is deleted, the state is listed as “uninitialized” if the destination is in the /etc/snapmirror.conf file or is no longer listed if it is not. A successful snapmirror resync command restores the snapmirrored status. |
| Quiesced |
SnapMirror is in a consistent internal state and no SnapMirror activity is occurring. In this state, you can create Snapshot copies with confidence that all destinations are consistent. The snapmirror quiesce command brings the destination into this state. The snapmirror resume command restarts all SnapMirror activities. |
| Unknown |
The destination volume or the volume that contains the destination qtree is in an unknown state. It might be offline or restricted. |
| Source |
When the snapmirror status command is run on the source system and the destination is on another system, the state of the destination is unknown, so the source status is reported. |
| Status entry |
Description |
|---|
| Idle |
No data is being transferred. |
| Idle with restart checkpoint (n XB done) |
No data is being transferred. The last transfer attempt was aborted, but the transfer saved a restart checkpoint and thus can be restarted at the next attempt. Transfer sizes are reported in the following units:- KB up to 10,240 KB
- MB up to 10,240 MB
- GB up to 10,240 GB
- TB
|
| Transferring |
Transfer has been initiated but has not yet started, or is just finishing. |
| Transferring (n
XB done) |
Data transfer is in progress. Transfer sizes are reported in the following units:- KB up to 10,240 KB
- MB up to 10,240 MB
- GB up to 10,240 GB
- TB
|
| Pending |
The destination was not updated because of a transfer failure; the transfer will be retried automatically. |
| Pending with restart checkpoint (n
XB done) |
The destination was not updated because of a transfer failure. The transfer will be retried automatically from the restart checkpoint. Transfer sizes are reported in the following units:- KB up to 10,240 KB
- MB up to 10,240 MB
- GB up to 10,240 GB
- TB
|
| Aborting |
A transfer is being aborted and cleaned up. |
| Quiescing |
The specified volume or qtree is waiting for all existing transfers to complete. The destination is being brought into a stable state. |
| Resyncing |
The specified volume or qtree is being matched with data in the common Snapshot copy. |
| Waiting |
SnapMirror is waiting for a new tape to be put in the tape device. |
Additional snapmirror status entries are as follows.
| Additional -l option entries |
Description |
|---|
| Progress |
Displays the amount of data (in KB) transferred by the current transfer. Displays the restart check point if the status is Idle or Pending. |
| Mirror Timestamp |
The timestamp of the last Snapshot copy successfully transferred from the source to the destination. Note: A resynchronization might change the base Snapshot copy to a Snapshot copy with an older timestamp.
|
| Base Snapshot copy |
The name of the base Snapshot copy for the destination. For volumes in a SnapMirror relationship, this field is the same on the source side and the destination side. For qtrees in a SnapMirror relationship, the destination side lists the name of the exported Snapshot copy for that qtree on the destination.
Note: A resynchronization might change the name of the base Snapshot copy.
|
| Current Transfer Type |
Indicates the kind of transfer now in progress: scheduled, retry, resync, update, initialize, store, or retrieve. This field applies only to the destination side. |
| Current Transfer Error |
Displays an error message if the latest transfer attempt failed. |
| Contents |
Indicates whether the contents of the destination volume or qtree in the active file system are up-to-date replicas or in transition. The field applies only to the destination side.- Under SnapMirror volume replication, the contents are always a replica.
- Under SnapMirror qtree replication, the contents are usually a replica, but sometimes are transitioning.
|
| Last Transfer Type |
Indicates the kind of transfer previously performed: scheduled, retry, resync, update, initialize, store, or retrieve. This field applies only to the destination side. |
| Last Transfer Size |
Displays the amount of data (in KB) transferred in the last successful transfer. |
| Last Transfer Duration |
Displays the elapsed time for the last successful transfer to complete. If the transfer failed and restarted, this includes time waiting to restart the transfer. If a transfer aborted and was retried from the beginning, it includes only the time required for the final successful attempt. |
| Last Transfer From |
This field applies only to the destination side and shows the name of the source system and volume or qtree. This field is useful if you have changed the source in the /etc/snapmirror.conf file but the data is actually from the old source. For snapmirror retrieve (from tape) operations, this field lists the tape device used in the retrieve operation. |
