you CAN: just do snapmirror initialize -S srcfiler:/vol/srcvol/- dstfiler:/vol/dstvol/dstqtree

this will initiate a QSM of the "root"-qtree (which is the "-") of the srcvol, which is simlar to the volume (from the filesystem perspective), to the dstvol. Just try it :-) As it is a QSM it doesn't matter which version is running at src and dst.

You cannot snapmirror a volume to a qtree, no (at least not that I’ve ever heard of).

 

You can do volume to volume or qtree to qtree (and you can do data *not* in a qtree to qtree).

 

If your source is 7.3 and the destination is 8.2 I’m fairly certain you can do a VSM from 32 to 64-bit volumes (added in 8.1 IIRC).

Can I snapmirror from volume into qtree?

Source is 32-bit volume and destination is qtree on 64-bit volume

7.3.5->8.2

For QSM (qtree snapmirror) the versions don’t really matter. You can snapmirror new->old, old->new. For Volume snapmirror the destination has to be the same or newer.

 

I know we have 8.1 as the source and 8.0 as the destination for QSM.

Maybe someone can confirm if there is an exact version requirement as 7.3.5 is pretty old, but I believe QSM should work from older to Newer, but def not the other way around.
