the entire capacity of the source storage volume. To ensure high availability, the array selected to provide the source storage is
automatically filtered from the list of arrays available for the target storage.
Select only one source and one target storage volume. The storage volume can be claimed or unclaimed.
NOTE: To create a thin volume, the selected source and target storage volumes must come from the same array family,
and must also be thin capable.
Source Storage — Select an array in the drop-down box, and then select from the list of available storage volumes on the
array.
Target Storage — Select an array in the drop-down box, and then select a storage volume from the list of available storage
volumes on the array.
To discard all selections made on previous screens and restart the wizard from Step 1, click Start Over in the lower-right corner
of the screen.
To go back to a specific step, click Back until you reach that step.
Step 3: Create thin volumes
The storage volumes you selected support creating thin virtual volumes. To create thin virtual volumes, click the Create thin
virtual volumes check box, or click Next to continue without creating thin volumes.
Step 3: Select a target storage volume on the remote
cluster
Select a target storage volume on the remote cluster. Data written to the source storage volume will be copied onto this
storage volume.
Note the following:
● You can select claimed or unclaimed storage volumes.
● The size the target volume must be greater than or equal to the size of the source volume.
Select an array in the drop-down box, and then select from the list of available storage volumes on the array.
To discard all selections made on previous screens and restart the wizard from the Step 1, click Start Over in the lower-right
corner of the screen.
To go back to a specific step, click Back until you reach that step.
Step 3: Select target storage on the remote cluster
When mirroring on both clusters, select target storage volumes on the remote cluster. The data on the source storage volume
will be mirrored to the target storage volumes on the remote cluster. To ensure high availability, the array selected for one
target is automatically filtered from the list of arrays available for the other target.
NOTE:
The size of the target volume must be greater than or equal to the size of the source volume. You can select
claimed or unclaimed storage.
To discard all selections made on previous screens and restart the wizard from the
Step 1, click Start Over in the lower-right corner of the screen.
To go back to a specific step, click Back until you reach that step.
Step 6: View results
This screen shows the results of the provisioning request.
To provision more storage, click Provision More in the lower-right corner of the screen to go back to Step 1 in the wizard.
To close the wizard, click Done.
