Create the secondary snapshot copy for the Open Replication feature for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP.
Before You Begin
To create the vault/replica or the mirror copy , you must use a storage policy.
If you have not yet done so, create a storage policy with a snap primary copy. See Creating a Storage Policy and a Primary Snap Copy.
With the fan-out configuration, you can create multiple vault copies or replica copies and multiple mirror copies, using the same storage policy with a primary snapshot copy as the source copy.
Procedure
-
From the CommCell Browser, go to Policies > Storage Policies.
-
Right-click the storage policy, point to All Tasks, and then click Create New Snapshot Copy.
The Snap Copy Properties dialog box appears.
-
Enter the following information:
-
In the Copy Name box, type a name for the storage policy copy.
-
Select one of the following:
-
For SnapVault and MirrorVault relationships, select Vault/Replica.
-
For SnapMirror and Version Flexible Mirror relationships, select Mirror.
-
-
For Storage Pools, do one of the following:
-
From the Storage Pool list, select a storage pool.
-
To add a storage pool, click Add, and then follow the wizard for storage pools.
-
-
-
If you are configuring a Vault/Replica copy, then on the Retention Rules tab, click Next. For mirror copies, the Retention Rules tab does not appear because the retention rules of the mirror copy will be the same as of the source copy.
-
On the Copy Policy tab, from the Specify Source for Array Replica Copy list, select a source copy for the topology that you want to set up, and then click Next.
-
On the Snap Configuration tab, add SVM mappings. Ensure to add SVM mappings (source and destination array pair in a snapmirror relationship) for all subclients assigned to the storage policy. If SVM mappings are missing or do not match the snapmirror relationship, then snapshot replication fails.

Click Finish.

Click OK.
