SnapMirror creates snapshots on the source volume, which are copied to the mirror.
The snapshot name is in the following format:
filer_volume.number
filer is the host name of the destination filer.
volume is the name of the destination volume (the mirror).
number is the number for the snapshot starting at 1.
SnapMirror automatically deletes old snapshots that are no longer necessary for data
replication.
([DPSOH
The following example describes the snapshots that are created on the source vol-
ume and copied to the mirror.
In this example, data is replicated from /vol/vol1of filerA to /vol/vol2 of filerB.
To create a baseline version of a mirror, filerA creates a snapshot file named
/vol/vol1/
filerB_vol2.1 on filerA. All snapshots in /vol/vol1 of filerA, including /vol/vol1/
filerB_vol2.1, are transferred to /vol/vol2 of filerB.
For example, the snap list command on filerB generates the following display after
/vol/vol1/filerB_vol2.1 is transferred from filerA to filerB.
