Before creating a mirrored pair, follow these guidelines.
- You must have two storage
arrays.
- Each storage array must
have two controllers.
- The two storage arrays must be discovered in SAN Manager .
- Each controller in both
the primary array and secondary array must have an Ethernet management
port configured and must be connected to your network.
- The storage arrays
have a minimum firmware version of 11.60.2. (They can each run different
OS versions.)
- You must know the password
for the local and remote storage arrays.
- You must have enough
free capacity on the remote storage array to create a secondary volume
equal to or greater than the primary volume that you want to mirror.
- Asynchronous mirroring is supported on controllers with Fibre
Channel (FC) or iSCSI host ports, while synchronous mirroring is supported
only on controllers with FC host ports.
