How SnapMirrors work
You create a SnapMirror relationship between a source volume and a destination volume. The source volume is a read-write volume that clients can access and modify. The destination volume is a read-only volume that exports a Snapshot copy to clients for read-only access.
Snapshot copies are used to update destination volumes. Snapshot copies are transferred from the source volume to the destination volume using an automated schedule or manually; therefore, mirrors are updated asynchronously. You use the set of snapmirror commands to create and manage SnapMirror relationships.
