For the Open Replication feature for Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP , you need to create a relationship.
The type of relationship that you create depends on the type of copy that you want to use.

Vault/replica copy |

Mirror copy |

To configure the relationships, use either the commands in the following procedure.
Before You Begin
Verify that both the source volume and the target volume meet the following conditions:
-
Are the same size
-
Use the same volume language
Procedure
Type the following commands on the destination storage virtual machine (that is, the Vserver).
-
To create a destination volume, type the following command:
volume create -vserver destination SVM name -volume volume name -aggregate aggregate name -size size of volume -state online -type DP -language volume language -space-guarantee none -snapshot-policy none -
For each volume that is going to be replicated, create one of the following relationships:
-
To create a SnapVault relationship, type the following command:
snapmirror create -typeXDP-policy $[XDPDefault] -source-path $[Source SVM]:$[Source Volume] -destination-path $[Destination SVM]:$[Destination Volume] -
To create a MirrorVault relationship, type the following command:
snapmirror create -type XDP –policy Snapmirror policy with policy type mirror-vault -source-path Source SVM:Source Volume -destination-path Destination SVM:Destination Volume
Note
The -type and -policy fields are optional when creating a MirrorVault relationship.
-
To create a Version Flexible Mirror relationship, type the following command
snapmirror create –policy Snapmirror policy with policy type async-mirror -source-path Source SVM:Source Volume -destination-path Destination SVM:Destination Volume
-
-
To initialize the relationship, type the following command:
snapmirror initialize -destination-path Destination SVM:Destination Volume
Results
The relationship is created on the target SVM array and accessible from the source array.
