Scheduling Volume Mirroring
Prerequisites
- You must have the privilege to schedule mirroring.
- The volume for which you are scheduling mirroring must be a mirror volume.
About this task
When you choose the mirror schedule, consider the amount of data on the volume and the load on the cluster. Remember that the mirroring frequency must allow enough time to complete one mirror operation before the next scheduled mirror operation starts. In addition, if you have a cascaded mirror setup (where A mirrors to B which mirrors to C), you cannot set a mirror schedule for C that starts before B finishes mirroring from A.
WARNING

minutes.Follow the steps given below to schedule mirroring on a volume.
