NetApp SnapMirror agent
The NetApp SnapMirror agent monitors the replication state of filer devices.
When a failover occurs, the agent reverses the direction of replication.
NetApp SnapMirror agent is configured as a resource of type NetAppSnapMirror.
Dependency
The NetApp SnapMirror resource depends on the NetApp Filer resource for
operation.
Agent functions
Online
If the state of the local filer device is SOURCE, the agent creates a lock
file to indicate that the resource can come online. This effectively makes
the devices writable for the application.
If the state of the local filer is SNAPMIRRORED, the agent attempts to
reverse the direction of replication by changing the state of the local filer
to SOURCE and that of the original source to SNAPMIRRORED.
If the original source filer is down, the agent performs a mirror breakoff
to enable local write access, if the filer is not already broken off.
If the original source returns to life, you must resynchronize the data
manually.
Offline
Removes the lock file. The agent does not perform any filer operations
because an offline function does not necessarily indicate an intention to
give up the devices.
