Filtering Metro Mirror and Global Mirror relationships

You can specify filter criteria to limit the number of Metro Mirror or Global Mirror relationships that are displayed.

Introduction

Filtering is useful when you have a large number of relationships that can be displayed. If you do not specify filter criteria, the SAN Volume Controller uses the most recently used filter criteria, unless it cannot be retrieved.

For example, if you want to display only relationships with a name that starts with the characters Met, type Met* in the Relationship Name field.
