Does volume snapmirror replicate ACLs to the destination volume?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- SVM-DR
- SnapMirror
Answer
- Yes, the ACLs associated with files replicated by SnapMirror are replicated to the SnapMirror destination
- Share-level configuration, part of the data SVM configuration, is not replicated by volume level SnapMirror
- ACLs control access to the files, but the share-level configuration provides NAS protocol access to shared files
- To replicate share-level configuration refer to Replicate an entire SVM configuration
- There is no way to exclude the ACLs associated with files during Snapmirror replication
