If the snapmirror is broken, and you are using the DR site, the script will fail.  To put it all back to the original, if you want the DR destination to be consistent on the source, you would have to reverse the replication, break, and resynch.

Subject: snapshots schedules and snapmirror for DR

Since our filers are used for a document management system, backups (snapshots/snapmirror) are controlled by a host script which coordinates CIFS shares and Oracle DB backups, and DR transfers.   Now, I’ve setup a general CIFS share (ie: a junk drawer) which uses “snap sched” for hourly/daily/weekly snapshots and snapmirror.conf to schedule snapmirror to a DR site.   

 

Q)  When the snapmirror is broken and the DR copy of the share is in use, will the snap sched kick in and start working automatically, or does something need done for the DR site for the snap sched to start working?

 

Thanks
