Hi,
I am have just created a new Snapmirror between to clusters - version 9.5 P6.
The Relationship Type is XDP and it is an Asynchronous Version-Flexible Mirror. This all appears to be normal.
I also have many other Snapmirrors that were created years ago. They were most likely created on Ontap version 8.3 (or perhaps earlier). These Snapmirrors have a Relationship Type of DP and are just simple Mirrors.
I am in the process of migrating all of our Volumes to a new SVM onto new storage and will be recreating the Snapmirrors the cluster where I have just created the XDP Snapmirror, again on a new SVM.
What differences are there between the XDP and DP Snapmirrors and the Asynchronous Version-Flexible Mirror compared to the Mirror type. I assume that I wouldn't want to downgrade the mirror from XDP to DP if this is even possible?
Thanks,
Ben
