Calculating replication set size
While Storage Mirroring is mirroring, the right pane of the Management Console displays statistics to keep you informed of
its progress. If the size of the replication set is determined before the mirror is started, Storage Mirroring can display the
percentage of the replication set that has been mirrored in the
Mirror Status column. If the size was not calculated prior to
starting the mirror, the column displays Mirroring. You can calculate the replication set size through the Replication Set
Properties dialog box by using the instructions below or through the Connection Manager (see
Establishing a new connection
on page 6-6).
1. Right-click on the replication set icon and select Properties. The Replication Set Properties dialog box appears.
2. Select the Size tab.
3. If the replication set size has never been determined, click Calculate. If the replication set has previously been
determined, the button will be labeled Recalculate.
4. Click OK to return to the Management Console.
NOTE: Depending on user activity, the size shown may not accurately reflect the current size of the replication
set. If changes are occurring to files in the replication set while the calculation is being made, the actual size
may differ slightly. The amount of data is determined at the exact time the calculation is made.
