Creating a SnapMirror protection relationship from the Health: All Volumes view
Using the Health: All Volumes view enables you to create several SnapMirror protection relationships at one time by selecting more than one volume on the same storage VM.
What you'll need
-
You must have the Application Administrator or Storage Administrator role.
-
You must have set up Workflow Automation.
The Protect menu does not display in the following instances:
-
If RBAC settings do not allow this action: for example, if you have only operator privileges
-
When the volume ID is unknown: for example, when you have an intercluster relationship and the destination cluster has not yet been discovered
-
In the Health: All Volumes view, select a volume that you want to protect.
Alternatively, to create multiple protection relationships on the same SVM, select one or more volumes in the Health: All Volumes view, and click Protect > SnapMirror on the toolbar.
The Configure Protection dialog box is displayed.
-
Click SnapMirror to view the SnapMirror tab and to configure the destination information.
-
Click Advanced to set the space guarantee, as needed, and then click Apply.
-
Complete the Destination Information area and the Relationship Settings area in the SnapMirror tab.
-
Click Apply.
You are returned to the Health: All Volumes view.
-
Click the protection configuration job link at the top of the Health: All Volumes view.
If you are creating only one protection relationship, the Job details page is displayed; however, if you are creating more than one protection relationship, a list of all the jobs associated with the protection operation is displayed.
-
Do one of the following:
-
If you have only one job, click Refresh to update the tasks list and task details associated with the protection configuration job and to determine when the job is complete.
-
If you have more than one job:
-
Click a job in the jobs list.
-
Click Refresh to update the tasks list and task details associated with the protection configuration job and to determine when the job is complete.
-
Use the Back button to return to the filtered list and view another job.

-
Depending on the destination SVM you specified during configuration or on the options you enabled in your Advanced settings, the resulting SnapMirror relationship might be one of several possible variations:
-
If you specified a destination SVM that runs under the same or a newer version of ONTAP compared to that of the source volume, a block-replication-based SnapMirror relationship is the default result.
-
If you specified a destination SVM that runs under the same or a newer version of ONTAP compared to that of the source volume, but you enabled version-flexible replication in the Advanced settings, a SnapMirror relationship with version-flexible replication is the result.
-
If you specified a destination SVM that runs under an earlier version of ONTAP than that of the source volume, and the earlier version supports version-flexible replication, a SnapMirror relationship with version-flexible replication is the automatic result.
