SnapMirror active sync relies on peered clusters to protect your data in the event of a failover. Before you configure SnapMirror active sync, you should confirm that your ASA r2 clusters are in a supported peering relationship and meet other configuration requirements.

Steps

  1. Confirm that a cluster peering relationship exists between the clusters.

    Note The default IPspace is required by SnapMirror active sync for cluster peer relationships. A custom IPspace isn’t supported.

    Create a cluster peer relationship.

  2. Confirm that a peer relationship exists between the storage virtual machines (VMs) on each cluster.

    Create an intercluster storage VM peer relationship.

  3. Confirm that at least one LIF is created on each node in the cluster.

    Create a LIF

  4. Confirm that the necessary storage units are created and mapped to host groups.

    Create a storage unit and map the storage unit to a host group.

  5. Rescan the application host to discover any new storage units.

After you have confirmed your cluster configuration, you are ready to install ONTAP Mediator.
