To use SnapMirror to replicate non-qtree data from a source to a destination, enter the following command on the destination system:snapmirror initialize -S source_system:/vol/source_volume/- dest_system:/vol/dest_volume/qtree_name
The dash (-) character indicates all non-qtree data in the specified volume.
Note: The snapmirror initialize command transfers the non-qtree data in the volume you specify, but you must specify the destination qtree name at the end of the path as though it already existed. If the destination qtree exists before the command runs, the command fails.
Example
Using the following command, SnapMirror transfers to the destination qtree (non_qtree_data_in_vol3 on vol4 on systemB) a complete copy of all the data in systemA, volume 3, that is not a part of a qtree.
systemB> snapmirror initialize -S systemA:/vol/vol3/- systemB:/vol/vol4/non_qtree_data_in_vol3
Note: After the transfer, the non-qtree data can only be a
SnapMirror source, never a destination. Although you can copy data from the non-qtree data to another qtree, you cannot copy data to the non-qtree data from another qtree.
