  • ONTAP 9
  • SnapMirror

Answer

Yes, ONTAP supports configuring both the SnapMirror source and destination within the same SVM or cluster.

Notes:

  • This configuration is often used for local data protection, testing, or development purposes.
  • While this setup is supported, it does not provide protection against failures that affect the entire SVM or cluster.
  • For disaster recovery or high availability, it is generally recommended to use different clusters or SVMs as the source and destination.
