Mirrors

The relationship of a master journal and a restore journal is called a "mirror". One master journal corresponds to one mirror.

A mirror is in Active status when it contains only pairs in COPY status (not synchronized with initial copy operation in progress) and pairs in PAIR status (synchronized with initial copy operation completed). Pairs are usually in PAIR status, so mirrors are usually in Active status.

Mirror status changes when an operation is executed to a mirror. Be sure to check the mirror status to confirm that the operation is completed. The following are a few examples of the mirror statuses. For details about mirror status, see Storage Navigator mirror status definitions.
