How SnapManager uses SnapMirror

SnapManager 5.0 and later enables you to verify databases that are stored on the LUNs of the destination SnapMirror volumes.

Volume replication using SnapMirror
SnapMirror creates replicas of volumes. SnapMirror mirrors a Snapshot copy of data on a source volume to one or more destination volumes. SnapMirror automatically reflects incremental changes of the source volume on the destination volume.
Where to find more information about configuring and using SnapMirror
You can obtain more information about configuring and using SnapMirror in Data ONTAP and SnapDrive documentation.
Requirements for using SnapMirror with SnapManager
To use SnapMirror with SnapManager, you should ensure that your configuration satisfies some requirements regarding the source and destination volumes, licenses, and configuration, as well as the replication schedule.
How SnapManager uses SnapMirror and SnapDrive
SnapManager uses SnapMirror to enable you to replicate backups to mirrored volumes. You can also perform concurrent backup verification. SnapManager coordinates with SnapDrive to perform asynchronous replication using SnapMirror. The changes reflected in a restore operation depend upon your backup schedule.
Integrity verification on SnapMirror destination volumes
SnapManager 5.0 and later enables you to verify the Exchange databases that are stored on the LUNs of the destination SnapMirror volumes.
Types of destination volume integrity verification
You can run different types of SnapMirror destination volume integrity verifications for different SnapManager operations.
Concurrent backup verification
You can run multiple backup verification jobs concurrently on the verification server, when verification requests originate on a different server than the server where the backup is created.
