Hi all,

we are trying to figure out, which way to implement a NetApp Snapshot-based backup with a SVM in a DR-Relationship. To be more specific:

Production: SVM1 on ClusterA
DR: SVM1-DR on ClusterB
Backup: SVM1-BCK on ClusterC

Commvault will trigger Primary Snapshots on SVM1 and replicates those Snapshots to SVM1-BCK. In the event of a disaster, SVM1-DR gets manually acitivated.

Question:
Can we use tunneling for SVM1 and in case of a disaster Commvault will automatically connect to SVM1-DR on ClusterB (same as with MetroCluster configurations and the “DR partner” parameter → https://documentation.commvault.com/11.40/expert/configuring_dr_partner_for_metrocluster_configuration.html)? Or do we need to connect to the SVM directly to be able to perform Primary Snapshot Backups on the DR-SVM?

Regards
Mario

Hi ​@Mario 

Thanks for reaching out. 
Can you confirm if you will be using the Metrocluster feature?

If so, the documentation recommends the following:

  • Use vServers without tunneling to the cluster.

  • Ensure that the source cluster interfaces are not reachable from the clients
