Hi all,
I know is still RC1 but prior to upgrade a running 8.3 I would try to have more info on a new 8.3.1 feature: the SVM DR.
I've a customer that on 7Mode ran the DR of CIFS vfiler (joined to a domain) using snapmirror of the vfiler vols, including the root one, and at the DR test/run the source vfiler was stopped and a vfiler create -d command, with the mirrored root specified, let the destination vfiler start with all domain infos, shares on the vole and ip addresses on the DR site with minimal effort.
I've read the docs that come with 8.3.1 but is not clear.
I don't think that there's something in SVM DR that permit to recreate the SVM on the destinanation: this must exist in advance, in stopped mode, right? What's about the maintenance of the IPs? Should I have two identical subnets in both clusters? What if I cannot have two different subnets? Do I have a way to let the replicated SVM being in standby with the data lif with preregistered IPs?
Regards
