Frequently asked questions...

What do I need to know before creating a mirror consistency group?
Follow these guidelines before you create a mirror consistency group.
What do I need to know before creating a mirrored pair?
Before creating a mirrored pair, follow these guidelines.
Why would I change this percentage?
Reserved capacity is typically 20 percent of the base volume for asynchronous mirroring operations. Usually this capacity is sufficient.
Why do I see more than one reserved capacity candidate?
If there is more than one volume in a pool or volume group that meets the capacity percentage amount you selected for the storage object, then you will see multiple candidates.
Why don’t I see all my volumes?
When you are selecting a primary volume for a mirrored pair, a list shows all the eligible volumes.
Why don’t I see all the volumes on the remote storage array?
When you are selecting a secondary volume on the remote storage array, a list shows all the eligible volumes for that mirrored pair.
What impact does synchronization priority have on synchronization rates?
The synchronization priority defines how much processing time is allocated for synchronization activities relative to system performance.
Why is it recommended to use a manual synchronization policy?
Manual resynchronization is recommended because it lets you manage the resynchronization process in a way that provides the best opportunity for recovering data.
