If they can't place a BDC at the site with the mirrored Filer, then I guess they are just kind of out of luck. What would happen if they setup a trust relationship between the domains and set permissions to allow certain users from both domains?

Oops. I should have read your message more carefully. It's true that MultiStore will completely solve the problem of replicating the servers if the destination has a way to get to the proper domain infrastructure at the remote site. If not, then you will either have to reset permissions, as you say, or use local users on the filer. Even in those cases, using MultiStore is still advantageous since it allows you to keep the servers separate.

Out of curiosity, why is it a problem to have the domain infrastructure available at the remote site? I'd think you would want that anyway as part of your disaster recovery strategy. Or is it just a question of one or two users at the remote site that need to access the data?

You should look into the MultiStore feature available with 6.2. It completely solves this problem, including the issue of local groups in snapmirrored data.

Hi All,

I have two filers replicating data. The two filers are in different domains. Now if one of my site goes down( along with the PDC and BDCs of that domain), how will I be able to access the data of the mirrored volume on the remote site after breaking the mirror....... as the files will have permmissions of a different NT Domain. I cannot create NT 'Trust' or have a BDC of each domain on the remote site. Is there anyother way of doing this. Can I reset all the permissions on the mirrored volume in the remote site in case of a 'site outage', so that I can access the data there.

Thanks

Pramod
