Which SnapMirror destination-side command would you use to establish the initial migration?

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

Answer: (C)

Starting an initial SnapMirror migration from the destination side uses the initialize command. This step creates the mirror relationship on the destination and begins pulling the baseline copy from the source, establishing the initial data set that will be kept in sync. After this initial copy completes, subsequent updates are handled with resync to bring the destination up to date, rather than starting a new baseline. The other options don’t establish the initial data transfer: releasing the relationship breaks it, and enabling access is just a permission-related setting, not part of the initial migration.
