relationship this is the second step followed by deleting the snapshot)

is out of date, for example working off DR site and wanting to resync back to
primary, only performed when SnapMirror relationship is broken)

vfiler to enter in a snapmirror schedule. i.e. srcfiler:vol1 dstfiler:vol1 – 15
* * * This will replicate every 15 minutes. Each * represents a value. Starting
from right to left you have day of week, month, day of month, hour minute.
Minute 0-59, hours 0-23, day-of-month 1-31, day-of-week 0 for Sunday – 6
Saturday) Each value can only be a number.)
/vol/vfiler_vol/etc/snapmirror.conf (read or write this file for snapmirror
configurations on a vfiler. vfiler_vol being the first volume with the /etc in
the vfiler)
“priv set diag” followed by “snapmirror break -h ” followed by
“priv set”. (If for some reason you snapmirror relationship has been orphaned,
meaning it doesn’t exist in snapmirror status on the source but does exist on
the destination, you can use these three commands to force the destination to
become read/write. You can then do “snap list” and find the baseline snapshot for
the destination. Followed by snap delete of the baseline snapshot. This will
remove the snapmirror relationship if all else fails. Lastly don’t forget to
remove the entry from snapmirror.conf)

To add extra vlans to a vfiler you must do the following:
Check the ip space that the vfiler is using by typing ipspace list
Create the vlan interface on the host i.e. vif0-360 for vlan 360
Assign the interface to the ip space of the vfiler i.e. ipspace assign ipspace_name vif0-360
Add the ip address you wish to use on the vlan interface to the vfiler i.e.
vfiler add vfiler_name -i 192.168.1.1
Once the vfiler has this ip address in it’s config we can add it onto the
interface i.e. ifconfig vif0-360 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
