Hi All,
Currently I am having production data traffic and snapmirror traffic both using the Gigabit interface: Source Target Filer1-e0 Filer2-e0 (100Base-T) (inactive) Filer1-e4 Filer2-e4 (Gigabit)
Had been trying to set a private network using the inactive onboard interface just to do the snapmirror.
Existing snapmirror.conf of Filer2 Filer1-e4:vol1 Filer2-e4:vol1 - 0 5,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,21 * 1,2,3,4,5,6
New snapmirror.conf of Filer2 Filer1-e0:vol1 Filer2-e0:vol1 - 0 5,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,21 * 1,2,3,4,5,6
However, the hostname of Filer2 is Filer2-e4 and the snapmirror destination has to be the hostname according to the DPG, meaning I can't have an exclusive 100Base-T for the snapmirror traffic.
The error is /etc/snapmirror.conf: line 2 destination filer "Filer2-e0" does not match hostname "Filer2-e4", ignoring line
Is there any way to make this work?
Thanks Lim
dont care about /etc/hosts :
just put right away the hostname of your filer in the snap.conf file as following :
Filer1-e0:vol1 Filer2:vol1 - 0 5,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,21 *
theoritically, to reach Filer1 your Filer (Filer2) should recognize the adress to be part of a private network you add configured, and as the Filer *routes* its inet packets, snapmirror communication should go through the appropriate interface.
Just make sure Filer1-e0 is in your /etc/hosts file and is associated to a the network where your Filer2's e0 interface is on too.
