Answer

  • Can SnapMirror source and destination volumes be different sizes?
    • Yes, source and destination volumes can be different sizes
  • SnapMirror type-XDP allows storage efficiency independence between source and destination volumes
    • While this allows for increased flexibility, certain combinations of storage efficiency settings can cause source volume storage efficiency savings to be lost during transfer
    • It is possible to observe that the SnapMirror transfer size is smaller than the growth of the destination volume used space
