Listing SnapMirror destinations for a volume in a cascading series

You can use the snapmirror destinations command to display the destinations for a volume in a cascading series.

Considerations

To display the SnapMirror destinations for a source volume, complete the following step.

Step

  1. From the system with the volume serving as the source, enter the following command:snapmirror destinations [-s] [volume_name]

    The -s option generates a list of the names of the Snapshot copies retained for each destination.

    volume_name is the name of the source volume for which you want to see the destinations.

    Example

    Suppose that you have used the snapmirror destinations command for a cascade configuration depicted in the following figure.

    Figure 1. Copying data between storage systems in a cascade configuration

    The output for the snapmirror destinations command for such a cascade configuration would be similar to the following output.
    systemA> snapmirror destinations vol1
    Path        Destination
    /vol/vol1   systemB:vol1->systemC:vol1->systemD:vol8
    /vol/vol1   systemL:vol1->systemM:vol1->systemX:vol1->systemY:vol1
    /vol/vol1   systemL:vol1->systemM:vol1->systemX:vol1->systemZ:vol1
    /vol/vol1   systemL:vol1->systemM:vol1->systemN:vol1
    Note: If you do not specify a volume name in the command, the output includes information about each destination volume on the storage system.
