Understanding SnapMirror on the hosting filer

Where to enter the snapmirror command  Top

You can enter the snapmirror command from the hosting filer only, not from a vfiler. However, you can perform asynchronous mirroring for any qtree or volume on the filer, whether the qtree or volume is owned by a vfiler or the hosting filer.

Considerations for using the snapmirror command  Top

The procedure for using the snapmirror command for data on a vfiler is the same as that for data on a filer.

When typing a filer name in a path name in the /etc/snapmirror.conf file, be sure to use the name of the filer, not the name of a vfiler, even though the path name is for a storage unit in a vfiler.
