Monitoring the activity and completion of the initial mirror
View your connection in the Management Console by highlight the source machine on the left pane. The connection will
appear on the right pane. Use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the right pane to view the various status columns.
Pay attention to the
Mirror Status column which shows the status of the mirroring operation. During the mirroring process,
you will see a percentage of the mirror that has been completed. When the Mirror Status indicates Idle, there is no mirroring
activity, meaning your initial mirror has completed. See the Storage Mirroring User’s Guide for information on the other
possible states.
To view specific mirroring statistics that may be of interest, use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the right pane of
the Management Console window to view the various columns.
Sent (Bytes)—The total number of mirror and replication bytes that have been sent during this connection.
Sent Mirror (Bytes)—The total number of mirror bytes only that have been sent during this connection.
Skipped Mirror (Bytes)—The total number of bytes that have been skipped when performing a difference or
checksum mirror. These bytes are skipped because the data is the same on the source and target machines.
Remaining Mirror (Bytes)—The total number of mirror bytes only that remain to be sent to the target.
For complete details on all of the statistics, see the Storage Mirroring User’s Guide.
When your
Mirror Status is Idle, your mirroring is complete. Take a look at your target machine and you will see that the
test directory you created on the source now exists on the target and is populated with all of the files from your source test
directory.
After your mirror is complete, you are ready to continue with the evaluation.
