Applies to

  • ONTAP 9.9
  • SnapMirror active sync
  • SnapMirror Business Continuity (SM-BC)

Answer

  • SnapMirror Business Continuity is not for keeping snapshots retention.
  • SnapMirror AutomatedFailover policy is keeping 2 crash-consist snapshots for a consistency group to provide zero RTO guarantee where client I/O will not be disrupted on replication failure
