To troubleshoot SnapMirror transfers, which directory contains the log files?

• A. /vol/vol0/etc/log/
• B. /vol/vol0/etc/snaplog/
• C. /vol/vol0/etc/snapmirror/
• D. /vol/vol0/etc/log/snaplog/

Answer: (A)

SnapMirror transfer issues are diagnosed by checking the system’s central log directory on the root volume. In 7-Mode, ONTAP stores log files for various services, including SnapMirror, under /vol/vol0/etc/log. This is the standard place to find SnapMirror-related events and errors, such as the log file entries that document transfer progress, failures, and retries.

Other paths imply a separate or nested log structure that isn’t how SnapMirror logs are organized. There isn’t a dedicated /vol/vol0/etc/snaplog/ directory or a separate /vol/vol0/etc/snapmirror/ directory for logs, and placing logs under /vol/vol0/etc/log/snaplog/ would be a nested subdirectory rather than the conventional single central log location.
