Create a common Snapshot copy

Contributors netapp-ahibbard netapp-lenida netapp-thomi dmp-netapp

In addition to the regularly scheduled Snapshot copy operations, you can manually create a common Snapshot copy between the volumes in the primary SnapMirror consistency group and the volumes in the secondary SnapMirror consistency group.

About this task
  • In ONTAP 9.8, the scheduled snapshot creation interval is one hour.

    Beginning with ONTAP 9.9.1, that interval is 12 hours.

Before you begin
  • The SnapMirror group relationship must be in sync.

Steps
  1. Create a common Snapshot copy:

    destination::>snapmirror update -destination-path vs1_dst:/cg/cg_dst

  2. Monitor the progress of the update:

    destination::>snapmirror show -fields -newest-snapshot
