Configuring SnapMirror resources at the primary site
Configure NetAppSnapMirror resources at the primary site to monitor data replication from the primary to the secondary site. Creating a resource at the primary site will enable the filer to replicate from the primary to the secondary site.
You may want to repeat this procedure and create a NetAppSnapMirror resource at the secondary site.
This is required in cases such as the following:
the service group is online at the secondary site (either it is failed over or switched to the secondary site) and the filer should replicate from secondary to primary site
if you want to fail over or switch the service group from the secondary to the primary site
Use the SQL Server Configuration Wizard to add the SnapMirror resource. Verify that the volumes or LUNs created to store the registry replication information and the SQL Server database are connected to the node on which you run the wizard, and disconnected from other nodes in the cluster.
