Configuring storage settings Configuring SnapMirror
The list of authorized IP addresses must be populated prior to initiating a connection from the ONTAP system or
the connection will be rejected.
To remove an IP address, select the IP Address and click Remove Selected. Removing an IP address from the
whitelist disables access to the AltaVault from that IP address.
Note: If you are using SnapCenter to manage backups, SnapCenter automatically creates the whitelist of approved IP addresses
when you initiate a backup from SnapCenter. In this case, there is no need to create the IP whitelist.
To disable SnapMirror service
1. Choose Configure > SnapMirror in the Management Console.
2. Under SnapMirror Service, click Disable.
When SnapMirror service is disabled, the shares and Snapshots that exist on AltaVault are not deleted and are
kept intact. Snapshots are not accessible while service is disabled. Snapshots can be restored only when
SnapMirror service is enabled.
3. If the Service restart required prompt appears, click the Restart button that becomes enabled in the upper right of
the console.
Monitoring and deleting SnapMirror shares and Snapshots on AltaVault
A SnapMirror share is created automatically when the SnapMirror relationship with the AltaVault is created in ONTAP
or in SnapCenter. Based on SnapMirror policies, Snapshot copies of ONTAP volumes are backed up to the associated
AltaVault share. AltaVault provides global deduplication on all Snapshot backup streams prior to replication to the
cloud.
Snapshots backed up to AltaVault shares are read-only copies and can only be restored back to ONTAP using ONTAP
commands or SnapCenter.
To view SnapMirror shares and Snapshots on AltaVault
1. Under SnapMirror Shares, review the information fields associated with a share:
Field Description
Name Specifies the name of the share created in ONTAP using the ONTAP CLI or by using
SnapCenter software. When the ONTAP administrator creates a SnapMirror
relationship with AltaVault, a share is automatically created in AltaVault. Each share is
associated with one ONTAP FlexVol volume. AltaVault supports up to 500 SnapMirror
shares.
To view a list of Snapshots associated with each share, select a share name.
Peer Path Identifies the source volume in ONTAP that is being backed up to AltaVault.
UUID Lists the unique identifier associated with each SnapMirror share. The UUID value is
generated by AltaVault.
Size Specifies the size of the SnapMirror share. The size can grow or shrink as Snapshots are
backed up or deleted from the share.
Shares on the AltaVault have no size limitation but are bound by the AltaVault’s cache
capacity. The size of source volume, change rate, and number of Snapshots will impact
the number and size of SnapMirror shares on the AltaVault.
