Controlling an automatic mirror

In certain circumstances, for example if the disk-based queues on the source are exhausted, Storage

Mirroring will automatically disconnect connections (called auto-disconnect) and then automatically

reconnect them (called auto-reconnect). In order to ensure data integrity on the target, Storage

Mirroring will perform an automatic mirror (called an auto-remirror) after an auto-reconnect.

1.

Right-click a server in the left pane of the Management Console and select

Properties.

2.

Select the

Setup tab.

3.

Verify that the

Perform Remirror After Auto-Reconnect check box is selected to initiate an

auto-remirror after an auto-reconnect.

4.

Specify the type of mirror that you wish to perform.

File Differences with Checksum—Any file that is different on the source and target based

on date, time, and/or size is flagged as different. The mirror then performs a checksum

comparison on the flagged files and only sends those blocks that are different.

File Differences with no Checksum—Any file that is different on the source and target

based on date, time, and/or size is sent to the target.

NOTE:

Auto-remirror is a per source option. When enabled, all connections from the source will

perform an auto-remirror after an auto-reconnect. When disabled, none of the

connections from the source will perform an auto-remirror after an auto-reconnect.

NOTE:

If auto-remirror is disabled and an auto-reconnect occurs, the transmission state of

the connection will remain pending after the reconnect until a mirror is started

manually.
