How Asynchronous Mirroring Works 

The resynchronization interval is the amount of time between automatically 

sending updates of modified data from the primary storage array to the secondary 

storage array. The interval, expressed in minutes, represents the time between the 

starting points of sending updates from the primary to the secondary. A 

resynchronization interval of zero means that synchronization is manual.

Synchronization progress 

The synchronization progress is the percent complete and an estimated time to 

completion of the current synchronization activity if in progress.

Alert threshold for resynchronization completion time (for example, alert if the 

resynchronization takes too long)

Alert threshold for recovery point degradation (such as, age of the Secondary 

PiTs)

Repository utilization warning threshold

Member volume list

The following properties are shared between the local storage array and remote 

storage array: 

World Wide Name

User label

Mirrored I/O Channel Type: Fibre Channel or iSCSI

Resynchronization interval

Alert threshold for resynchronization completion time (for example, alert if the 

resynchronization takes too long)

Alert threshold for recovery point degradation (such as, age of the Secondary 

PiTs)

Repository utilization warning threshold

The shared properties are communicated to the remote storage array when you create 

the asynchronous mirror group. Changes to a shared property are made first on the 

local storage array then communicated to the remote storage array. If a shared 

property fails change on both the local storage array and the remote storage array, the 

local storage array is considered to be the master setting. When the two storage arrays 

reconnect after a communication outage or reboot, the asynchronous mirror group 

properties are reconciled from the local storage array. 
If the two storage arrays detect a dual role conflict after a communication outage is 

resolved, the asynchronous mirror group properties are not reconciled until the 

dual-role conflict is resolved. To resolve the role conflict you must determine which 

storage array is the primary storage array. At that time, the asynchronous mirror group 

properties are then assumed from the side that you have defined to be the primary 

side.
