Use this option on the first screen of the Activate Remote Mirroring Wizard to specify where to allocate capacity for the mirror repository logical drives
Important: The Free Capacity
Note: If you do not highlight either type of node, the Free Capacity option is selected, unless there is no capacity available, in which case the Unconfigured Capacity option is selected.
Two options are available:
|
Use Free Capacity |
This option is selected if you first highlighted a Free Capacity node in the Logical View before entering the Wizard. It is also the default selection if you have free capacity on the storage subsystem, but no unconfigured capacity. A list shows free capacity nodes on existing arrays in addition to their capacities and RAID levels. Select the corresponding radio button and select the node on which to place the logical drive, then select Next to continue the logical drive creation process. This will take you to the Activate Remote Mirroring: Preview screen. |
|
|
Use Unconfigured Capacity |
This option is selected if you first highlighted the Unconfigured Capacity node in the Logical View or if you selected unassigned drives in the Physical View before entering the Wizard. It is also the default selection if you have unconfigured capacity on the storage subsystem but do not have free capacity on any existing arrays. Select the corresponding radio button, then select Next to continue the logical drive creation process by creating a new array. This will take you to the Activate Remote Mirroring - Create Array screen. |
