Procedure

1

Select the secondary logical drive to be included in the mirrored pair. You may select only one.

  • The 1742-90U/90X and 1742-1RU/1RX storage subsystems support up to 16 mirror definitions and the 3552 storage subsystem supports up to 8 mirror definitions
  • If the logical drive you want to use is not in the list, verify that its capacity is greater than or equal to the capacity of the primary logical drive.
  • If no compatible logical drives exist on the storage subsystem, an error message will be displayed. Selecting OK on the error dialog returns you to the Create Remote Mirror - Select Remote Storage Subsystem dialog.
  • Re-sort the columns in the dialog by selecting the header. The columns will be sorted alphabetically if text and numerically if numbers.
