Using the Create Remote Mirror Wizard

Related Topics

Use Remote Mirroring to create a copy of a primary logical drive on another, secondary storage subsystem. Creating a copy of a logical drive at a remote location gives you a backup of your data that can be accessed in case of catastrophic data loss at the primary site.

The Create Remote Mirror wizard helps you to quickly define a primary logical drive and a secondary logical drive and synchronize the data between the two logical drives.

Important: Not all controllers have the capability to create and support a Remote Mirror . Controllers must have dual, host-side interface ports in order to use this feature. Consult your hardware documentation for more information about your controllers.

Before using this wizard, make sure the following requirements have been met:

Select a logical drive in the Logical View and then select Logical Drive >> Remote Mirroring >> Create pull-down menu option or select Create Remote Mirror from the right-mouse pop-up menu.

Follow the directions on each of the screens and press Next when ready to move to the next screen.

Note: Each wizard screen has context-sensitive help. Press Help to receive help appropriate for that particular screen.
