Creating a mirror or vault relationship from a source or destination SVM

You can use Storage Manager to create a SnapMirror relationship or SnapVault relationship between a source volume and destination volume from a source storage virtual machine (SVM) or destination SVM and assign a policy to mirror or vault data. In the event of data loss or corruption, the backed-up data can be restored.

About this task

You can perform one of the following tasks depending on whether you want to create a SnapMirror or SnapVault relationship from a source or destination SVM :

  • Creating a mirror relationship from a source SVM
    You can use Storage Manager to create a mirror relationship from the source storage virtual machine (SVM) , and to assign a mirror policy and schedule to the mirror relationship. The mirror copy enables quick availability of data if the data on the source volume is corrupted or lost.
  • Creating a mirror relationship from a destination SVM
    You can use Storage Manager to create a mirror relationship from the destination storage virtual machine (SVM) , and to assign a policy and schedule to the mirror relationship. The mirror copy enables quick availability of data if the data on the source volume is corrupted or lost.
  • Creating a vault relationship from a source SVM
    You can use Storage Manager to create a vault relationship from the source storage virtual machine (SVM) , and to assign a vault policy to the vault relationship to create a backup vault. In the event of data loss or corruption on a system, backed-up data can be restored from the backup vault destination.
  • Creating a vault relationship from a destination SVM
    You can use Storage Manager to create a vault relationship from the destination storage virtual machine (SVM) , and to assign a vault policy to create a backup vault. In the event of data loss or corruption on a system, backed-up data can be restored from the backup vault destination.
