What is a SnapMirror Relationship of type RST?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9.x
- SnapMirror
- SnapVault
Answer
- During a SnapMirror/SnapVault restore a relationship of type RST is created
- the RST relationship should only exist until the restore finished successfully.
- When a relationship type RST is visible in snapmirror show, but there is not an active SnapMirror restore, it implies the RST needs to be cleaned up
