snapmirror_policy

SnapMirror policy information. SnapMirror policy can either be of type "async" or "sync". The policy type "async" can be associated with a SnapMirror relationship that has either the FlexVol volume or FlexGroup volume or SVM as the endpoint. The policy type "sync" along with "sync_type" as "sync" or "strict_sync" can be associated with a SnapMirror relationship that has FlexVol volume as the endpoint. The policy type "sync" can have a "sync_type" of either "sync", "strict_sync" or "automated_failover". If the "sync_type" is "sync" then a write success is returned to the client after writing the data to the source endpoint and before writing the data to the destination endpoint. If the "sync_type" is "strict_sync" then a write success is returned to the client after writing the data to the both source and destination endpoints. If the "sync_type" is "automated_failover" then the policy can be associated with a SnapMirror relationship that has Consistency Group as the endpoint. Use the "sync" policy with "sync_type" as "automated_failover" to establish SnapMirror relationships for business continuity usecases. SnapMirror relationships with policy type as "sync" and "sync_type" as "automated_failover" can be monitored by the Mediator, if configured. In case the source Consistency Group endpoint is not reachable, the Mediator may trigger a failover to the destination Consistency Group endpoint.

comment

string

Comment associated with the policy.

copy_all_source_snapshots

boolean

Specifies that all the source Snapshot copies (including the one created by SnapMirror before the transfer begins) should be copied to the destination on a transfer. "Retention" properties cannot be specified along with this property. This is applicable only to async policies. Property can only be set to 'true'.

copy_latest_source_snapshot

boolean

Specifies that the latest source Snapshot copy (created by SnapMirror before the transfer begins) should be copied to the destination on a transfer. "Retention" properties cannot be specified along with this property. This is applicable only to async policies. Property can only be set to 'true'.

create_snapshot_on_source

boolean

Specifies whether a new Snapshot copy should be created on the source at the beginning of an update or resync operation. This is applicable only to async policies. Property can only be set to 'false'.

identity_preservation

string

Specifies which configuration of the source SVM is replicated to the destination SVM. This property is applicable only for SVM data protection with "async" policy type.

name

string

Name of the policy.

network_compression_enabled

boolean

Specifies whether network compression is enabled for transfers. This is applicable only to the policies of type "async".

retention

array[snapmirror_policy_rule]
