Use the Select the Auxiliary Cluster panel in the Creating
a Metro or Global Mirror Relationship wizard to select the name, the
copy type, and the cluster relationship to use for this Metro
Mirror or Global Mirror relationship.
Fields
The
following fields can be updated:
- Relationship Name
- Enter a name for the relationship. If you do not specify a name,
a default name is assigned.
- Copy Type
- Select the copy type for the relationship.
Note: If you do not
select a copy type, Metro
Mirror is
the default option.
The following options are possible:- Metro Mirror Relationship
- Select this if you want to create a Metro
Mirror relationship.
- Global Mirror Relationship
- Select this if you want to create a Global Mirror relationship.
- Inter-cluster relationship with remote cluster
- Select this option if the local cluster is the master cluster
and the remote cluster is auxiliary cluster. Select the cluster to
use for the auxiliary cluster from the list. Before a Metro
Mirror or Global Mirror relationship or consistency group can be created
with a remote cluster, a partnership between the two clusters must
be established and have the status of fully configured. If Global
Mirror or Metro Mirror relationships or consistency groups exist between
two remote clusters, those clusters must maintain their partnership.
Each cluster can maintain up to three partnerships, and each partnership
can be with a single remote cluster. As many as four clusters can
be directly associated with each other.
Note: If you use a Metro
Mirror or Global Mirror consistency group, the master and auxiliary
cluster must be in the same consistency group. Only the consistency
groups that share the same master and auxiliary cluster are listed.
- Intra-cluster relationship
- Select this option if the local cluster is both the master and
auxiliary cluster since both virtual disks (VDisks) and the remote
cluster is auxiliary cluster.
