Monitoring the SnapVault relationship

You should periodically monitor the status of the SnapVault relationships to ensure that the data is backed up on the destination volume per the specified schedule.

About this task

The snapmirror show command displays information associated with SnapMirror and SnapVault relationships. By default, the command displays the following information:
  • Source Path

  • Relationship Type

  • Destination Path

  • Mirror State

  • Relationship Status

  • Total Progress

  • Healthy

  • Progress Last Updated

Verify the status in the Details bottom tab.

The health status of the SnapVault relationship, any transfer errors, and the lag time are displayed:

  • The Is Healthy field must display Yes .

    For most data transfer failures, the field displays No. In some failure cases, however, the field continues to display Yes. You must check the transfer errors in the Details section to ensure that no data transfer failure occurred.

  • The Relationship State field must display Snapmirrored.

  • The Lag Time must be not more than the transfer schedule interval.

    For example, if the transfer schedule is daily, then the lag time must not be more than a day.
