We recently had a case of stability, where one of our systems with SnapMirror wasn't working. There are some issues, but most of them are due to setup, destination, and transfer issues including the storage system running out and SnapMirror settings. Apart from that, it is very stable, and I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.

Sr. Manager - System Analyst (Datacenter Infrastructure) at Sohar International

Deployment was very smooth and took around two weeks. Following that, we carried out our data migration which took time. We previously used a Windows file independent server with its own local disk and Windows OS. It's not compatible with NetApp so data had to be physically migrated. We also took extra time integrating with our antivirus software and configuring external tape libraries with NetApp. We had one staff member involved in the deployment and an engineer from our partners. We have close to 900 users. The solution requires routine tasks as opposed to maintenance. We have three or four people with access to this storage.
