The /etc/snapmirror.allow file

Purpose of the snapmirror.allow file

The /etc/snapmirror.allow file on the source filer specifies the host names of filers that are allowed to replicate data from the source filer.

The filer is not shipped with a default /etc/snapmirror.allow file. You must use a text editor to create the file if you want to use SnapMirror.

When you can modify the snapmirror.allow file

You can modify the /etc/snapmirror.allow file at any time.

Format of the snapmirror.allow file

Each entry in the /etc/snapmirror.allow file contains the host name of the filer that can replicate data from the source filer. Type each entry on a separate line.

Example

If you want to replicate volumes locally on filerA, enter this line in the /etc/snapmirror.allow file on filerA:

filerA

Example

If you want to replicate volumes from filerA to filerB, enter this line in the /etc/snapmirror.allow file on filerA:
