ONTAP SVM root volume Load Sharing Mirror(LSM)

 ONTAP root volume Load Sharing Mirror(LSM)

A load-sharing mirror reduces the network traffic to a FlexVol volume by providing additional read-only access to clients.A load-sharing mirror is mounted in the same area of the SVM namespace as its source volume. This is useful for frequently read, but infrequently updated data, such as shared binary files

Steps:

1. Create destination Volume:

C1_SVM1::> volume create -vserver vs0 -volume root_dest -aggregate sti8_vsim_ucs571x_aggr1 -size 2GB -type DP

[Job 241] Job succeeded: Successful

2)Create the Mirror relation

C1_SVM1::> snapmirror create -source-path vs0:root_vs0 -destination-path vs0:root_dest -type LS

[Job 243] Job succeeded: SnapMirror: done

3)Initialize the mirror

C1_SVM1::> snapmirror initialize-ls-set -source-path vs0:root_vs0

[Job 245] Job is queued: snapmirror initialize-ls-set for source "C1_SVM1://vs0/root_vs0".

4)Verify the relationship

snapmirror show -destination-path vs0:root_dest
