Estimating aggregate size for synchronous SnapMirror destination volumes

For synchronous replication of volumes using SnapMirror, the aggregates that contain destination volumes should have enough free space to store the NVLOG data. This will allow regular replication to take place as specified.

Before You Begin

You need to ascertain the model name of the storage system that is the source for the replication.

Steps

  1. Determine the size of the source storage system NVRAM.

    For information, see the System Configuration Guide.

    Example

    The FAS6070 has 2 GB of NVRAM.

  2. Multiply the NVRAM size by 20 to determine the estimated free space size.

    Example

    2 GB times 20 is 40 GB; therefore, 40 GB of free space is required on the aggregate containing the destination volume.
