In the Add SnapMirror Entry page, you can perform the following procedure:

Adding SnapMirror entries:

To add a SnapMirror entry to the scheduler, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Destination section, select a destination for this mirror. This can be either a volume or a qtree.

    a. Select a destination volume from the drop-down list in the Destination Volume field.

Note: The destination volume you select must be offline. If you attempt to use the root volume as the destination, you will receive an error. Either select a different destination volume or make another volume the root volume before selecting it for the destination volume.

b. Enter a full qtree pathname for the destination qtree to be used.

  1. In the Source section, enter the source filer name for the mirror you want to replicate.

  2. Enter the location name of the source mirror, either the volume name or the full qtree pathname.

  3. In the Restart Mode field, select one of the options from the drop-down list. This option selects how you want to attempt to restart the transfer.

    Schedule Priority is the default setting.

  4. In the Maximum Transfer Rate field (an optional field), enter a value, not lower than 4, to set a maximum transfer speed in kilobytes. 

    The default, not entering a value, causes the filer to transfer data as fast as the system allows.

  5. In the Schedule section:

If you use the preset schedule:

a. Select how often a replication occurs from the drop-down list in the Repeat Mirror field.

b. Select when the replication occurs from the drop-down list in the Start Mirror On field.

If you use the custom schedule, enter a schedule in the following format:
