When is a load-sharing mirror (LSM) relationship updated?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- Load-sharing mirror (LSM)
Answer
Load-sharing mirror (LSM) relationship is updated on the following timings:
- Time for a scheduled update
- When a manual update by
snapmirror update-ls-set
is performed - When a mount/unmount operation against a volume in an SVM where the SVM root volume is protected by a LSM
- this refers to when the SVM mounts the volume to a namespace/junction path, not to be confused with when an NFS client mounts the volume to a mountpoint over the network
- ‘volume create’ command that includes ‘junction-path’
Note: An issue in ONTAP 9.13.1 can result in volume mount/unmount operations failing to update the Load-Sharing Mirror. This issue is tracked in BUG 1567467.
