SnapMirror Qtree-level product enhancement was announced Monday. Product information is updated on the public website by now. To summarize:
- Requires ONTAP 6.2 - Single destination volume can host mirrored data for multiple source filers' qtrees - Destination qtree is read-only, but it can reside in a read-write volume on the destination filer - Each destination volume supports up to 29 mirrored qtrees; cannot cascade - Works at a logical file level, so it does NOT transfer FILESYSTEM metadata ==> protection against file corruption at destination site, which previously would have been replicated with volume-level SnapMirror - Dramatically improves capacity management for destination filer with multiple sources - Can replicate smaller data sets, further reducing capacity requirements, while improving bandwidth and CPU overhead loads; however, if mirroring the entire volume it does take longer and use more capacity than volume-based SnapMirror (approximately 5% overhead compared to volume-level SnapMirror) - Changing between volume- and qtree-level (in either direction) requires a new level 0
