Changing the Synchronization Priority for a Remote Mirror

Related Topics

Use this option to change the synchronization priority the controller owner of the primary logical drive uses when performing a full synchronization .

Important: This option is not available unless the Remote Mirroring premium feature is enabled and activated. The controller owner of the primary logical drive uses the synchronization priority, so this option is not available for secondary logical drives.

Procedure

1

Select a primary logical drive in the Subsystem Management Window Logical View, then, select either the Logical Drive >> Remote Mirroring >> Change >> Synchronization Priority pull-down menu option, or Change >> Synchronization Priority from the right-mouse pop-up menu.

Result: The Change Synchronization Priority dialog is displayed. The Select logical drives list box lists all primary logical drives in the storage subsystem. The primary logical drive that you selected to invoke the option is highlighted.

2

Select the primary logical drives for which you want to change the synchronization priority in the Select logical drives list box. To select multiple logical drives, use the CTRL + CLICK or SHIFT + CLICK keyboard options. To select all of the primary logical drives, select the Select All button.

3

In the Select synchronization priority area, use the slider bar to select the appropriate synchronization priority. There are five choices: Lowest, Low, Medium, High, and Highest. These settings are shown with five tick marks on the slider bar. The Lowest and Highest settings are labeled. The higher the setting, the more the primary controller will prioritize a full synchronization over host I/O, and the larger the impact to system performance.

4

Select OK.

Result: The Change Synchronization Priority - Confirmation dialog is displayed.
