Step 2: Select volume options
Select high availability options, synchronization options, and then enter a name for the volume. If a cluster has only one array,
the ability to mirror is disabled for that cluster.
● Source Cluster — Select the cluster where you want to create the virtual volume.
● High Availability — Select a check box to enable mirroring at the cluster indicated. You can select a single cluster, both
clusters, or leave both check boxes unselected to disable mirroring at both clusters. When you select the check box to
enable mirroring at a cluster, Local Mirroring appears above the cluster in the map.
● Synchronization Options — Select the appropriate option to indicate whether or not you want to synchronize data from
the source storage volume to the target storage volume.
●
Volume Name — Type a name for the virtual volume.

Step 2: Select volume options
Select high availability options and a name for the virtual volume. The mirroring option is enabled only for the cluster where the
virtual volume will be created. If the cluster has only one array, the option to mirror is disabled.
Source Cluster — The cluster where the virtual volume will be created.
High Availability — Select the check box to mirror the virtual volume at the cluster indicated.
Volume Name — Type a name for the virtual volume.

Step 3: Select a storage volume to create the virtual volume
Select one storage volume to use for the virtual volume. The virtual volume will use the entire capacity of the storage volume.
You can select claimed or unclaimed storage volumes.
Select an array in the drop-down box, and then select a storage volume from the list of available storage volumes on the array.
NOTE: To create a thin volume, make sure that the storage volume is thin capable.

Step 3: Select a source and target storage volume
Select a source and a target storage volume on the cluster where the virtual volume will be created. The source storage is used
to create the virtual volume and the target storage is used to mirror the virtual volume. The virtual volume to be created will use
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.
