Answer

  • Can a SnapMirror relationship be configure with a smaller destination volume than the source?
    • No, creating a smaller destination volume than the source volume is not possible, even with autogrow enabled
    • The destination volume must be the same size or larger to accommodate all data from the source volume
    • SnapMirror relationships require destination volumes to be identical replicas of source volumes, including snapshots and settings
