I'm trying to setup snapmirror between two cluster mode netapp filers.
However, one is in the US, the other is in China.
We have two different unix groups setup here, as a security measure.
i.e. we have group users.usa in the USA, and users.china in China.
users.usa cannot view users.china files, and vice versa, and nobody in china can be a member of users.usa/vice versa.
So can I snapmirror the users.usa data to china, and change the unix group of the files to users.china, i.e. is there a netapp option for that?
Also, by doing this, would I completely screw up the compression/snapmirror comparison algorithm, as the files would technically be different, no?
Thanks for this, we're rocking onTap 8.3 on both filers.

You can't modify a snapmirror that's an active replication target, because it's a block level copy.
What you can do is clone it, and then modify the clone. You'd need to recreate this each snap iteration though.
