You can use the snapdrive snap connect command to connect to a Snapshot copy of shared storage entities other than LUNs.
-
Enter the following command:
snapdrive snap connect fspec_set [fspec_set…] -snapname long_snap_name [-devicetype shared] [-split]In this syntax,
fspec_setis:{-dg | -fs}_src_file_spec_ [dest_file_spec ] [-destdg dgname]
The following example connects to a Snapshot copy that contains shared storage entities on an originating host cluster. The operation is executed from the non-cluster-master node, but the command is shipped to the master node and executed:
# snapdrive snap connect -fs /mnt/sfortesting /mnt/sfortesting2 - snapname f270- 197-109:/vol/vol2:testsfarcsnap -devicetype shared -autorename Execution started on cluster master: sfrac-57 connecting sfortesting_SdDg: LUN copy sfortesting_SdLun_0 ... created (original: f270-197-109:/vol/vol2/sfortesting_SdLun) mapping new lun(s) ... done discovering new lun(s) ... done Connecting cluster node: sfrac-58 mapping lun\(s\) ... done discovering lun(s) ... done LUN f270-197-109:/vol/vol2/sfortesting_SdLun_0 connected - device filename(s): /dev/vx/dmp/c3t0d22s2 Importing sfortesting_SdDg_0 Activating hostvol sfracvxfstestfs_SdHv_0 Successfully connected to snapshot f270-197- 109:/vol/vol2:testsfarcsnap disk group sfortesting_SdDg_0 containing host volumes sfortesting_SdHv_0 (filesystem: /mnt/sfortesting2)
The following example connects to a Snapshot copy that contains shared storage entities on a non-originating host cluster. The operation is executed from the non-cluster-master node, but the command is shipped to the master node and executed:
