Why can't I access my chosen mirroring feature?

To use either the Asynchronous Mirroring feature or the Synchronous Mirroring feature, you must have the ThinkSystem SAN Manager running on your local host through an HTTPS connection to discover the storage arrays that are mirroring-capable and to initiate the mirroring operation. From SAN Manager , you must select the storage array from which you want to mirror data from and then click Launch to open ThinkSystem System Manager .

To use the mirroring feature verify the following:

  • The Web Services Proxy service is running.

  • ThinkSystem SAN Manager is running on your local host through an HTTPS connection.
  • ThinkSystem SAN Manager is showing valid SSL certificates for the storage array. You can accept a self-signed certificate or install your own security certificate using SAN Manager and navigating to Certificate > Certificate Management .
  • ThinkSystem System Manager is launched from a SAN Manager .
  • You must have discovered the two storage arrays you want to mirror data between. Then, from

    SAN Manager , you select the primary volume's storage array and click Launch to open the browser-based ThinkSystem System Manager .
