HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring evaluation guide (T2558-96075, February 2008)

7 - 3
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.
