You can change the synchronization settings and warning
thresholds that the mirror consistency group on the local storage
array uses when data is initially synchronized or when data is re-synchronized
during asynchronous mirroring operations.
About
this task
Changing the synchronization settings affects
the synchronization operations of all mirrored pairs within the mirror
consistency group.
- Select .
- Select the
Mirror Consistency Groups tab.
The Mirrored Consistency Group table appears and displays
all the mirror consistency groups associated with the storage array.
- Select the
mirror consistency group that you want to edit, and then select .
The system displays the Edit Settings dialog box.
- Edit the synchronization
and alert settings as appropriate, and then click Save .

Description
|
Synchronize the mirrored pairs...
|
Specify whether you want to synchronize
the mirrored pairs on the remote storage array either manually or
automatically.
- Manually – Select
this option to manually synchronize the mirrored pairs on the remote
storage array.
- Automatically, every – Select this option to automatically synchronize the mirrored pairs
on the remote storage array by specifying the time interval from the
beginning of the previous update to the beginning of the next update.
The default interval is 10 minutes.
|
Alert me...
|
If you set the synchronization method to
occur automatically, set the following alerts:
- Synchronization – Set the length of time after which System Manager sends an alert that synchronization has not completed.
- Remote recovery point – Set a time limit after which System Manager sends an alert indicating that the recovery point data on the remote
storage array is older than your defined time limit. Define the time
limit from the end of the previous update.
- Reserved capacity
threshold – Define a reserved capacity amount at which System Manager sends an alert that you are nearing the reserved capacity threshold.
Define the threshold by percentage of the capacity remaining.

What happens
next?
System Manager changes the synchronization settings for every mirrored pair in
the mirror consistency group.
