Creating the Target Volumes and Metro/Global Mirror Relationships

You must create an equal number of target VDisks (for Metro/Global Mirror targets) and source VDisks on the recovery site Spectrum Virtualize Family.

Important:
  • Create Metro/Global Mirror relationships between the source and target VDisks and add them to consistency groups, as explained in Preparing the SRA environment.
  • Before you use the Spectrum Virtualize Family SRA, make sure that the Metro/Global Mirror relationships and consistency groups are in a consistent synchronized state.
  • For Stretched Cluster, make sure that the two copies of a stretched volume reside in different sites and that both copies are online.
  • For IBM HyperSwap, make sure that the primary volume and secondary volume of a HyperSwap volume are online.
