Which command on the SnapMirror destination storage system would initialize the relationship?

• A. snapmirror resync
• B. snapmirror release
• C. snapmirror initialize
• D. options snapmirror.access on

Answer: (C)

Initializing a SnapMirror relationship on the destination is the step that creates the initial baseline copy from the source and establishes the mirroring relationship. This sets up the destination to be a mirror of the source so subsequent updates can be tracked and applied incrementally. Without this initialization, there’s no established relationship to synchronize. After the initial seed, you would use a resync to bring the destination up to date with any changes since the baseline, or release to break the relationship, while options snapmirror.access on is unrelated to establishing the link.
