Viewing Metro Mirror and Global Mirror relationship details

Attributes

The following attributes are displayed in the table:

ID

Displays the system-assigned ID for this relationship.

Name

Displays the name of this relationship.

State

Displays the current state of the relationship. The following states are possible:

Inconsistent Stopped

Indicates that the primary VDisk is accessible for read and write input/output (I/O) operations but the secondary VDisk is not accessible for either. A copy process must be started to make the secondary VDisk consistent.

Inconsistent Copying

Indicates that the primary VDisk is accessible for read and write I/O operations but the secondary VDisk is not accessible for either. This state is entered after a Start command is issued to a consistency group that is in the Inconsistent Stopped state. This state is also entered when a Start command is issued with the force option to a consistency group in the Idling or Consistent Stopped state.

Consistent Stopped

Indicates that the secondary VDisk contains a consistent image, but it might be out-of-date with respect to the primary VDisk. This state can occur when a relationship is in the Consistent Synchronized state and experiences an error which forces a freeze of the consistency group. This state can also occur when a relationship is created with the CreateConsistentFlag set to TRUE.

Consistent Synchronized

Indicates that the primary VDisk is accessible for read and write I/O operations. The secondary VDisk is accessible for read-only I/O operations.

Idling

Indicates that the master VDisks and auxiliary VDisks are operating in the primary role. Therefore, both VDisks are accessible for write I/O operations.

Idling Disconnected

Indicates that the VDisks in this half of the consistency group are all operating in the primary role and can accept read or write I/O operations.

Inconsistent Disconnected

Indicates that the VDisks in this half of the consistency group are all operating in the secondary role and cannot accept read or write I/O operations.

Consistent Disconnected

Indicates that the VDisks in this half of the consistency group are all operating in the secondary role and can accept read I/O operations but not write I/O operations.

Empty

Indicates that the consistency group does not contain any Metro Mirror or Global Mirror relationships.

Relationship Connectivity State

Indicates that the connectivity state of the relationship. The following types are possible:

• Online
• Primary (Offline)
• Secondary (Offline)
• I/O Channel Offline

Copy Type

Indicates the copy type of the relationship. The following types are possible:

• Metro
• Global

Master Cluster ID

Displays the system-assigned ID of the cluster that contains the master virtual disk (VDisk).

Master Cluster Name

Displays the name of the cluster that contains the master VDisk.

Master Virtual Disk ID

Displays the system-assigned ID of the master VDisk.

Master Virtual Disk Name

Displays the name of the master VDisk.

Auxiliary Cluster ID

Displays the system-assigned ID of the cluster that contains the auxiliary VDisk.

Auxiliary Cluster Name

Displays the name of the cluster that contains the auxiliary VDisk.

Auxiliary Virtual Disk ID

Displays the system-assigned ID of the auxiliary VDisk.

Auxiliary Virtual Disk Name

Displays the name of the auxiliary VDisk.

Primary

Indicates which VDisk is the primary VDisk. The following values are possible.

Master

The master VDisk is the primary VDisk. Data is copied from the master VDisk to the auxiliary VDisk.

Auxiliary

The auxiliary VDisk is the primary VDisk. Data is copied from the auxiliary VDisk to the master VDisk.

N/A

The copy direction is not applicable.

Consistency Group ID

Displays the system-assigned ID of the consistency group that contains the relationship.

Consistency Group Name

Displays the name of the consistency group that contains the relationship.

Background Copy Rate

Displays the background copy rate for this mapping. The value selected can be either the number 1 - 100 to indicate the background copy rate (a higher number indicates a faster copy rate) or NOCOPY, where the background copy process is disabled.

Progress

Displays the percentage of the primary VDisk that has been successfully copied to the secondary VDisk. This value can be 0% - 100%.

Freeze Time

Displays the time when the consistency group was frozen. The time is in the YY/MM/DD/HH/MM format.

Note: The freeze time only applies to Metro Mirror or Global Mirror relationships that are part of a consistency group.

Synchronization Status

The following values are possible:

Synchronized

The secondary VDisk is consistent and up-to-date.

Unsynchronized

The secondary VDisk is not consistent and up-to-date.

N/A

The synchronization status is not applicable.
