Viewing Metro Mirror or Global Mirror partnerships

You can view information for Mirror partnerships.

This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console.

Perform the following steps to view information for Metro Mirror or Global Mirror partnerships:

  1. Click Manage Copy Services > Viewing Metro & Global Mirror Cluster Partnership in the portfolio. The Mirror Cluster Partnership panel is displayed. The following information is displayed for the cluster partnerships:
    Cluster Name
    Displays the name of the selected cluster.
    IP address (IPv4)
    Displays the IPv4 IP address of the local or remote partner cluster.
    IP address (IPv6)
    Displays the IPv6 IP address of the local or remote partner cluster.
    State
    Displays the current state of the partnership. The following values are possible:
    Partially Configured
    Indicates that only one cluster partner is defined from a local or remote cluster to the displayed cluster and is started. For the displayed cluster to be configured fully and to complete the partnership, you must define the cluster partnership from the cluster that is displayed to the corresponding local or remote cluster. You can do this by issuing the mkpartnership command on the local and remote cluster that are in the partnership, or by using the SAN Volume Controller Console to create a partnership on both the local and remote clusters.
    Fully Configured
    Indicates that the partnership is defined on the local and remote clusters and is started.
    Remote Not Present
    Indicates that the remote cluster is not present to the partnership.
    Partially Configured (Local Stopped)
    Indicates that the local cluster is only defined to remote cluster and the local cluster is stopped.
    Fully Configured (Local Stopped)
    Indicates that a partnership is defined on both the local and remote clusters and the remote cluster is present, but the local cluster is stopped.
    Fully Configured (Remote Stopped)
    Indicates that a partnership is defined on both the local and remote clusters and the remote cluster is present, but the remote cluster is stopped.
    Fully Configured (Local Excluded)
    Indicates that a partnership is defined between a local and remote cluster; however, the local cluster has been excluded. Usually this state occurs when the fabric link between the two clusters has been compromised by too many fabric errors or slow response times of the cluster partnership. Check the error log for 1720 errors by selecting Service and Maintenance > Analyze Error Log to resolve these errors.
    Fully Configured (Remote Excluded)
    Indicates that a partnership is defined between a local and remote cluster; however, the remote cluster has been excluded. Usually this state occurs when the fabric link between the two clusters has been compromised by too many fabric errors or slow response times of the cluster partnership. Check the error log for 1720 errors by selecting Service and Maintenance > Analyze Error Log to resolve these errors.
    Fully Configured (Remote Exceeded)
    Indicates that a partnership is defined between a local and remote cluster and the remote is available; however, the remote cluster exceeds the number of allowed clusters within a cluster network. The maximum of four clusters can be defined in a network. If the number of clusters exceeds that limit, SAN Volume Controller determines the inactive cluster or clusters by sorting all the clusters by their unique identifier in numerical order. The inactive cluster partner which is not in the top four of the cluster unique identifiers displays Fully Configured (Remote Exceeded).
    Bandwidth (MBps)
    Displays the bandwidth that was specified, shown in megabytes per second (MBps).
