Dear Toasters,
I have 2 filers, a F810 and a F740. We also have some Sun servers that do NIS, sendmail, web server etc.
To protect from root/boot disk failures on my Sun, i either use rsync to copy the root disk to another machine with the same hardware architecture or mirror the disk to a "backup" disk on the same machine.
I have 2 volumes on my F810 vol0(which has 2 disks) and vol1(11 disks) on a DS-14 shelf.
I am trying to protect myself from the situation where i lose both my vol0 disks, which will mean that my filer will no longer know anything about itself and i cant really "connect" from my backup server to the netapp to recover everything.
If i lose 2 disks on vol1, i will lose all data, but i can slap 2 new disks on the filer and still recover all data from my backups.
Any recommendations, thoughts on the same ?
I use Legato for backup and do my backups over NFS, by mounting the volumes to my backup server.

I was wondering if we can snapmirror vol0 of filer1 to filer2 and viceversa! or maybe use ndmpcopy across the filers. Thanks /Deepak
