Manage synchronous mirrored pairs

You can test the communication link between a mirrored pair, suspend and resume synchronization, change the role of volumes, change synchronization settings, and remove the synchronous mirror relationship.

  • Test communication for synchronous mirroring
    You can test the communication between a local storage array and a remote storage array to diagnose possible communication problems for a mirrored pair that is participating in synchronous mirroring.
  • Suspend and resume synchronization for a mirrored pair
    You can use the Suspend option and Resume option to control when to synchronize the data on the primary volume and the secondary volume in a mirrored pair.
  • Change role between volumes in a mirrored pair
    You can perform a role reversal between the two volumes in a mirrored pair that are participating in synchronous mirroring. You change the role between volumes in a mirrored pair for administrative purposes or in the event of a disaster on the local storage array.
  • Change synchronization settings for a mirrored pair
    You can change the synchronization priority and resynchronization policy that the mirrored pair uses to complete the resynchronization operation after a communication interruption.
  • Remove synchronous mirror relationship
    You remove a mirrored pair to remove the mirror relationship from the primary volume on the local storage array and the secondary volume on the remote storage array.
