video on demand1. what you need:
two clusters
e.g. cl1 and cl2
two free ports per node. (the ports should not contain lifs)
net port show
net int show
select 2 ports per node and write them down. for both clusters.
e.g e0e e0f
2. what you do:
you set the ports to the intercluster role
net port modify -node cl1-01 -port e0e -role intercluster
you do this for all selected ports on all nodes (8 ports in total)
3. set up a lif for the intercluster relation on all four nodes
(source cluster)
net int create -vserver cl1-01 -lif cl1_l1 -role intercluster -home-node
cl1-01 -home-port e0e -address 192.168.211.10 -netmask 255.255.255.0
(destnation cluster)
net int create -vserver cl2-01 -lif cl2_l1 -role intercluster -home-node
cl2-01 -home-port e0e -address 192.168.211.12 -netmask 255.255.255.0
4. now set up the intercluster relationship:
on the source cluster run the following command
cluster peer create -peer-addr 192.168.211.12 -username admin
cluster peer health show
5. now set up a vserver on the source cluster (or use an existing one).
also set up a vserver on the destination cluster.
create a volume in the source vserver and use the snapmirror wizard
in system manager to set up a relationship. you can run the wizard
from the destination vserver for example.
or:
run the following commands to set up a volume pair to be snapmirrored:
(source cluster)
vserver create -vserver vsource -rootvolume rootvol -rootvolume-security-style unix
-aggregate aggr2 -ns-switch file
vol create -vserver vsource -volume volsource -aggregate aggr2 -size 100m
(destination cluster)
vserver create -vserver vdest -rootvolume rootvol -rootvolume-security-style unix
-aggregate aggr2 -ns-switch file
vol create -vserver vdest -volume voldest -aggregate aggr2 -size 100m -type dp
snapmirror create -source-path cl1://vsource/volsource -destination-path
cl2://vdest/voldest -type dp
snapmirror initialize -destination-path cl2://vdest/voldest
snapmirror modify -destination-path cl2://vdest/voldest -schedule 5min
snapmirror update -destination-path cl2://vdest/voldest
snapmirror show
snapmirror break -destination-path cl2://vdest/voldest
snapmirror resync ...... etcetera
