Creating a Metro Mirror or Global Mirror cluster partnership

Use this Creating a Metro or Global Mirror Cluster Partnership panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to create a Metro Mirror or Global Mirror cluster partnership.

Introduction

A Metro Mirror or Global Mirror partnership defines the relationship between a local cluster and a remote cluster. To create a fully functional partnership, you must also establish a one-way partnership on the remote cluster to the local cluster.

Fields

You can update the following fields:
Remote Cluster
Select the remote cluster to use to establish a one-way partnership with the local cluster.
Bandwidth
Enter the rate at which the background copy from the local to the remote cluster is performed. You can set this attribute differently for the path from cluster A to cluster B and for the path from cluster B to cluster A.
Link Tolerance
Enter the length of time that the primary response time must remain impacted before relationships are suspended. You can specify a value from 0 to 86400 seconds in steps of 10. A value of zero disables this feature. The default value is 300 seconds.
Inter-Cluster Delay Simulation (ms)
Enter the amount of time to delay I/O writes to the intercluster secondary VDisk. You can type a value from 0 to 100 milliseconds (ms). A value of zero disables this feature. The default value is zero.
Intra-Cluster Delay Simulation (ms)
Enter the amount of time to delay I/O writes to the intracluster secondary VDisk. You can type a value from 0 to 100 milliseconds (ms). A value of zero disables this feature. The default value is zero.

Actions

The following actions are available:

OK
Click this button to create a cluster partnership.
Cancel
Click this button to exit the panel without creating a cluster partnership.
