Monitoring the activity and completion of the
initial mirror
View your new connection in the Management Console by highlighting the source on the left pane.
The connection will appear on the right pane. Use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the right
pane to view the various status columns. Pay attention to the Mirror Status column which shows
the status of the mirroring operation. During the mirroring process, you will see a percentage of the
mirror that has been completed. When the Mirror Status changes to Idle, there is no mirroring
activity, meaning your initial mirror has completed.
To view specific mirroring statistics that may be of interest, use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom
of the right pane of the Management Console window to view the various columns.
 Sent (Bytes)—The total number of mirror and replication bytes that have been sent during this
connection.
 Sent Mirror (Bytes)—The total number of mirror bytes only that have been sent during this
connection.
 Skipped Mirror (Bytes)—The total number of bytes that have been skipped when performing a
difference or checksum mirror. These bytes are skipped because the data is the same on the
source and target machines.
 Remaining Mirror (Bytes)—The total number of mirror bytes only that remain to be sent to the
target.
For complete details on all of the statistics, see the Storage Mirroring User’s Guide.
After your mirror is complete, look at your target and you will see the replicated data stored in the
location you specified. Now you are ready to continue with the evaluation.
