Protection window

You can use the Protection window to create and manage mirror and vault relationships and to display details about these relationships. You can only view mirror relationships whose source and destination clusters are running Data ONTAP 8.2 or later. The Protection window does not display load-sharing (LS) and transition relationships (TDP).

Namespace mirrors and constituents are not displayed for mirror relationships on Infinite Volumes.

Note: If you have upgraded from Data ONTAP 8.1.x to Data ONTAP 8.2 or later, you must upgrade the older style mirror relationships through the command-line interface (CLI) to view them in the Protection window. For more information, see the section about upgrading older style SnapMirror relationships in the Clustered Data ONTAP Upgrade and Revert/Downgrade Guide.
