To back up a primary storage system to the SnapVault secondary storage system, you need to log in to the primary system’s console and enable SnapVault.
Steps
- Set up the SnapVault primary license on each primary storage system to be backed up. In the console, enter the following command: license add sv_primary_license
- Enable SnapVault on each primary storage system to be backed up. In the console, enter the following command: options snapvault.enable on
- Specify the name of the SnapVault secondary storage system. To do this, enter the following command:options snapvault.access host=snapvault_secondary
The system must be able to resolve the host name (snapvault_secondary) to an IP address in the /etc/hosts file or else the system needs to be running DNS or NIS. You can also enter the IP address instead of the host name. For details, see the na_protocolaccess(8) man page. For more information about the options command, see the na_options(1) man page.
