== SnapMirror Synchronous Business Continuity
== SnapMirror active sync

The SnapMirror Business Continuity (SM-BC) feature is available with ONTAP 9.8 and later, and you can use it to protect applications with LUNs, enabling applications to fail over transparently, ensuring business continuity in case of a disaster.
The SnapMirror active sync feature is available with ONTAP 9.8 and later, and you can use it to protect applications with LUNs, enabling applications to fail over transparently, ensuring business continuity in case of a disaster.

It allows you to discover and monitor the synchronous SnapMirror relationships for Consistency Groups (CGs) available on clusters and storage virtual machines from Unified Manager. SM-BC is supported on AFF clusters or All SAN Array (ASA) clusters, where the primary and secondary clusters can be either AFF or ASA. SM-BC protects applications with iSCSI or FCP LUNs.

SnapMirror active sync is supported on AFF clusters or All SAN Array (ASA) clusters, where the primary and secondary clusters can be either AFF or ASA. SnapMirror active sync protects applications with iSCSI or FCP LUNs.

When you view the volumes and LUNs protected by the SM-BC relationship, you can get a unified view for protection relationships, Consistency Groups in volume inventory, view protection topology for Consistency Group relationships, view historical data for Consistency Group relationships up to a year. You can also download the report. You can also view the summary of Consistency Group relationships, search support for Consistency Group relationships, and gain information about volumes that are protected by the Consistency Group.

On the Relationships page, you can also sort, filter, and extend protection on the source and destination storage objects and their relationship that are protected by the Consistency Group.

You can extend protection from an existing relationship by creating either a fanout from the source volume or a cascade from the destination volume of an existing relationship. You might do this when you need to copy data from one site to many sites or to provide additional protection by creating more backups.

You can extend protection to volumes using consistency group, which is a container that holds several volumes so that you can manage all of the volumes as one entity. You can view the SnapMirror Business Continuity (SM-BC) Consistency Group and the synchronous consistency group relationship in the Relationships page of Unified Manager.

SM-BC ensures zero recovery time objective (RTO) during failover in SAN environments. In a typical deployment supporting SM-BC, the LUNs on volumes are protected by Consistency Group relationships.
SnapMirror active sync ensures zero recovery time objective (RTO) during failover in SAN environments. In a typical deployment supporting SnapMirror active sync, the LUNs on volumes are protected by Consistency Group relationships.

These primary and secondary LUNs are composite LUNs, or a replica LUN pair with the same UUID and serial number. The I/O operations (both read and write) are multiplexed across the source and destination sites on these composite LUNs, ensuring transparency.

For viewing composite LUNs, both the primary and secondary clusters with the LUNs that are a part of the Consistency Group relationship should be added and discovered on Unified Manager. Only iSCSI and FCP LUNs are supported.

For information about SM-BC, see link:https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/smbc/index.html[ONTAP 9 Documentation for SM-BC].

The server should be dedicated to running Unified Manager. No other applications should be installed on the server. It is possible that vulnerability scanner like Qualys is installed on your Linux system because of company regulations. You should disable the vulnerability scanner before installing Unified Manager to prevent the installation from failing.

[NOTE]
Vulnerability scanners (such as Qualys) might lead to high CPU usage when scanning the virtual machine (VM) either internally (where Unified Manager and the vulnerability scanner are installed on the same VM) or externally (where Unified Manager and the vulnerability scanner are installed on two different servers and the vulnerability scanner scans the VM where Unified Manager is installed). This issue often results in the VM being unresponsive and affects the Unified Manager services. Therefore, NetApp recommends disabling the vulnerability scanner in the VM where Unified Manager is installed. If disabling the scanner is not an option, then scan the VM during non-business hours and restart the services after the scan is complete.

== Third-party software

Unified Manager is deployed on a WildFly web server. WildFly 26.1.3 is bundled and configured with Unified Manager.
