Is a volume SnapMirror relationship allowed between two SnapLock Compliance volumes if the destination volume has unexpired WORM files?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Not Applicable

Answer: (B)

SnapMirror updates require writing to the destination volume to keep it in sync. With SnapLock Compliance, WORM retention locks prevent modification of data until the retention period ends. If the destination volume has unexpired WORM files, those blocks cannot be rewritten, so a SnapMirror relationship cannot be established or maintained in that scenario. Only when there is no unexpired WORM on the destination (or it has expired) could a SnapMirror relationship be created and kept in sync.
