What SnapMirror status check shows

The SnapMirror status check shows information about SnapMirror transfers for volumes or qtrees.

If you check the status and you enabled SnapMirror, messages similar to the following are displayed:
systemA> snapmirror status

Snapmirror is on.
Source                 Destination            State         Lag       Status
systemA:vol0           systemA:vol1           Snapmirrored  02:25:11  Transferring (60 MB done)
systemB:/vol/vol1/qt3  systemB:/vol/vol3/qt3  Quiesced      00:01:15  Idle

You see a status report for any SnapMirror source that contains the base Snapshot copy, and for any destination in a current SnapMirror relationship or listed in the /etc/snapmirror.conf file. Destinations that were broken through the snapmirror break command but still contain the base Snapshot copy are listed.

If you check the status of data transfer and you did not enable SnapMirror, the following message is displayed:
systemA> snapmirror status

Snapmirror is off.
Note: The status of SnapMirror relationships, if any, are still displayed, as shown in the preceding example.

Example

With no options, the information displayed by the snapmirror status command looks similar to the following:
systemB> snapmirror status

Snapmirror is on.
Source                 Destination            State         Lag       Status
systemA:vol0           systemB:vol2           Broken-off    29:09:58  Idle
systemC:vol0           systemB:vol3           Snapmirrored  00:09:53  Idle with restart checkpoint (23 MB done)
systemC:vol4           systemB:vol5           Snapmirrored  00:04:58  Transferring (36 MB done)
systemA:/vol/vol1/qt5  systemB:/vol/vol4/qt5  Quiesced      00:05:12  Idle
systemC:/vol/vol2/qt1  systemB:/vol/vol1/qt2  Snapmirrored  00:02:33  Quiescing

Example

With the -l option, the configuration described in the previous example looks similar to the following:
systemB> snapmirror status -l

Snapmirror is on.
