SnapMirror files

SnapMirror uses configuration files, log files, and other files for its operation.

The following table lists the files used by SnapMirror, along with their corresponding functions:

Enables you to specify SnapMirror source and destination relationships, along with the following settings:

•	SnapMirror update schedules for a relationship

•	Type of relationship; single path, multipath, or failover

•	Other options for a given SnapMirror relationship

/etc/snapmirror.allow

Enables you to specify the SnapMirror destinations that are allowed to copy from the system.

Note: You can also use the options snapmirror.access command to specify the allowed destinations. However, if both the options snapmirror.access command and the /etc/snapmirror.allow file are used, options snapmirror.access takes precedence. This can affect the initialization of SnapMirror relationships.

/etc/log/snapmirror.x

Records the SnapMirror data transfer history.

Note: There might be one or more SnapMirror log files.

The latest logs are stored in the file named snapmirror. The older logs are named snapmirror.0 and snapmirror.1.

/etc/hosts

SnapMirror uses the entries in this file to resolve host names.
