#SnapMirror vault question

I have a volume replicating snapshots every hour. The policy type on the destination is mirror-vault and Create Snapshot is true. There is the sm_created rule which is working, it is keeping a 1 snap (default), but, the additional rules I've added for hourly and daily are not being created. Is there some special action that must be made to an existing relationship to tell the destination cluster to keep or create those snaps? It's as if the schedule is being ignored.
The other question I have is what relation do the SM Labels have to do with this? Do the labels have to include "snapmirror" or sm_created for the schedule to fire off the rule?
thanks

You have to have a snapshot policy on the source that creates snapshots with labels of "hourly" and "daily" for the Vault to pull them. The Snapmirror policy doesn't create those snapshots automatically, they have to be created by the snapshot policy on the source.
