Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • SVM-DR
  • SnapMirror 
  • Access Control List (ACL)

Answer

File ACLs are replicated to the SnapMirror destination along with the files. However, volume-level SnapMirror does not replicate share-level configurations, which are part of the data SVM configuration.

Notes:

  • ACLs control access to files, while share-level configurations provide NAS protocol access for shared files.
  • To replicate share-level configurations, refer to Replicate an entire SVM configuration.
  • There is no way to exclude file ACLs during SnapMirror replication.
  • When SnapMirror replicates data between SVMs in different domains, the NTFS ACLs are copied as-is, including the SIDs. If the destination SVM cannot resolve the SIDs to user or group names (because it is joined to a different domain), the ACLs are displayed using the SID format. However, the underlying SID values are not corrupted or lost.
