Storage Mirroring Evaluation Guide

4.1 Creating initial test data

1. Create a directory called testdata at the root of a volume on your source server.

2. Share the new directory by creating a share called testshare.

net share testshare=d:\testdata

3. From your client machine, map s: to testshare.

net use s: \\source\testshare

4. Copy a significant amount (approximately 1 GB) of user data to your s: drive. This will be

your test data that you will be replicating to your target.

Microsoft Windows Advanced Server 2000

D:\>md testdata

D:\>net share testshare=d:\testdata

testshare was shared successfully.

D:\>net use s: \\saturn\testshare

The command completed successfully.

NOTE: Make sure that your test data contains files that you can quickly view and

edit, like a Microsoft Word or Notepad document.
