Organization of This Guide
Each chapter in this guide is organized in primarily the same manner. Each chapter, if applicable, has a topic overview and is
then divided by each specific Storage Mirroring client. The overview contains information on the topic’s features, functions,
and options, while the remainder of the chapter explains how the topic works with respect to each client. For example,
Chapter 7, Mirroring, is divided into Mirroring Overview, Managing Mirroring Using the Management Console, and Managing
Mirroring Using the Text Client.
