Preparing your environment for SnapMirror replication

If you want to replicate volumes after SnapManager performs a backup, you need to configure SnapMirror relationships and schedules.

Steps

  1. Create or identify the destination volumes to which you want to replicate data.
  2. Create a mirror relationship between the primary volume and the destination volumes.

    For more information, see your SnapDrive documentation and the Data Protection Guide for your version of Data ONTAP.

  3. If enabled, disable the SnapMirror replication schedule.

    SnapDrive monitors when a Snapshot copy is taken and initiates a replication in response.

    For more detailed information, see the SnapDrive Installation and System Administration Guide for your version of SnapDrive and the Data Protection Guide for your version of Data ONTAP.

After you finish

Use SnapManager to back up your databases and select the option to update SnapMirror.
