protocol snapmirror enable
Enables support for SnapMirror data replication optimization on the SteelHead.
Syntax
[no] protocol snapmirror enable
Parameters
None
Usage
RiOS includes advanced benefits that further improve WAN performance, visibility, and control for NetApp SnapMirror. RiOS presents performance statistics and applies optimization policies based on source and destination volumes and/or filer pairs. RiOS provides the ability to fine tune network QoS policies for individual volumes and filers, or for SnapMirror as a whole.
To benefit from advanced SnapMirror optimization, both the destination filer-side and source filer-side SteelHead appliances must be running RiOS 8.5 or later.
The no command option disables SnapMirror optimization support.
By default, SnapMirror optimization is enabled for clustered configurations and no explicit configuration is required for bandwidth optimization. The default in-path rule lets you achieve bandwidth optimization of SnapMirror replication.
By default, SnapMirror is disabled for NetApp Data ONTAP v7 or Data ONTAP v8 operating in 7-mode.
If you have enabled or disabled SnapMirror optimization or changed a port, you must restart the optimization service.
Example
amnesiac (config) # protocol snapmirror enable
