Hi there

I need some suggestions to a setup where we will be hosing remote backup of other ONTAP clusters  on one ONTAP FAS cluster.

The clusters that needs to be backed up should be backed up are on separate VLANS and should be kept separate.

So the plan is to create a SVM per system in its own VLAN.

Trouble is that in order to setup a SVM-Peer you first need to setup a cluster peer…

So I guess there are several ways to do this…

1. Create several cluster mgmt. LIFs (one for each VLAN)
1. Could this cause issues?
2. Create a firewall rule for the existing cluster mgmt. LIF so is can be reached from all the VLANs.

I will also be using ipspaces for this because of security, and because there are two systems using the same IP range…

Suggestions are welcome..  I somewhat lean towards option 1.
