Qtree SnapMirror Replication with Deduplication Enabled on the Destination Only
A nondeduplicated flexible volume on the source can be replicated to a deduplicated volume on the
destination by using qtree SnapMirror, as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5) Qtree SnapMirror replication from a nondeduplicated source volume to a deduplicated destination volume.
Keep the following points in mind:
Deduplication is licensed only on the destination system.
Deduplication is enabled, run, and managed on a flexible volume at the destination.
Deduplication doesn’t yield any network bandwidth savings.
The deduplication schedule is not integrated with the qtree SnapMirror update, and vice versa; it must
be configured independently. The completion of a qtree SnapMirror update doesn’t automatically start a
deduplication operation on the destination, and the deduplication operation doesn’t trigger a qtree
SnapMirror update.
Deduplication storage savings are achieved only on the destination system.
Qtree SnapMirror with Deduplication Enabled on Both the Source and the Destination
A deduplicated flexible volume on the source can be replicated to a deduplicated volume on the destination
by using qtree SnapMirror, as shown in Figure 6.
