You configure mirrored pairs in the SAN Manager interface, and then manage the pairs in System Manager.
Before creating a mirrored pair, follow these guidelines:
-
You must have two storage
arrays.
-
Each storage array must
have two controllers.
-
Each controller in both the
primary array and secondary array must have an Ethernet management
port configured and must be connected to your network.
-
Your local and remote
storage arrays are connected through a Fibre Channel fabric.
-
The storage arrays have
a minimum firmware version of 11.50. (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.
- You have installed the Web Services Proxy and SAN Manager. Mirrored pairs are configured in the SAN Manager interface.
- The two storage arrays are discovered in SAN Manager.
