So after trying a wide variety of things there was nothing that I could do to prevent snapmirror from using the loopback adapter for in controller snapmirrors. I really wish that 7G had the volume move command like GX.
Thanks anyway for the suggestions.

What you could try (and I don't know if it works) is specify the snapmirror destination as the interface IP of one of your ethernet interfaces ?

Romeo,
I need to keep snapshots so vol copy is out. Also, it will still use the internal loopback adapter. What I am trying to do is see if I can get faster throughput than the loopback adapter within the same controller. I will definitely let you know what the final outcome is. Thanks for the advice.

vol copy can copy snapshots as well. From 7.2.6.1 vol man page,
vol copy start [ -S | -s snapshot ] source destination
Copies all data, including snapshots, from one vol- ume to another. If the -S flag is used, the com- mand copies all snapshots in the source volume to the destination volume. To specify a particular snapshot to copy, use the -s flag followed by the name of the snapshot.
Though I'm not sure this would be any faster than a snapmirror.
Andre, I'd be interested to hear what your outcome of this eventually is.
Thanks,
