Command ReferenceA-153
NAME
snapmirror.conf - configuration file specifying how filers replicate volumes using
SnapMirror
SYNOP SIS
/etc/snapmirror.conf
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/snapmirror.conf file exists on the filer containing the mirror used for
SnapMirror. Each entry of the file specifies the volume to be replicated, an argu-
ment for the replication, and the schedule for updating the mirror.
Each entry of the /etc/snapmirror.conf file is in this format:
source_filer:source_vol destination_filer:destination_vol argument schedule
The following list describes the fields in each entry:
source_filer the name of the filer containing the source volume.
source_vol the name of the source volume.
destination_filer the name of the filer containing the mirror.
destination_vol the name of the mirror.
argument the maximum speed at which data is transferred, which is
specified in kbs (kilobytes per second). Enter a value greater
than or equal to 11. By default, the filer transfers the data as
fast as it can. To accept the default, specify a dash.
schedule the schedule used by the destination filer for updating the mir-
ror. The schedule contains four fields: minute, hour, day of
month, and day of week. The fields are separated from each
other by a space. If a field contains more than one value, the
values are separated from each other by a comma. A field con-
taining an asterisk means that the field is irrelevant.
EXAMPLE
The following snapmirror.conf entry copies /vol/vol1 on filerA to /vol/vol2 on
filerB at a maximum rate of 2,000 kilobytes per second. FilerB updates the mirror
at 10:45 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 12:45 p.m., 1:45 p.m., 2:45 p.m., 3:45 p.m., and
4:45p.m., Monday through Friday. The asterisk means that the data replication
schedule is not affected by the day of month.
