Understanding MetroCluster data protection and disaster recovery

It is helpful to understand how MetroCluster protects data and provides transparent recovery from failures so that you can manage your switchover and switchback activities easily and efficiently.

MetroCluster uses mirroring to protect the data in a cluster. It provides disaster recovery through a single MetroCluster command that activates a secondary on the survivor site to serve the mirrored data originally owned by a primary site affected by disaster.
