Managing geographic mirroring

 

Find instructions to suspend and resume geographic mirror, detach and reattach the mirror copy, and delete the geographic mirroring configuration entirely.

After you have configured geographic mirroring, you can perform management tasks using iSeries™ Navigator.

There may be additional tasks that you might need to perform include.

• Suspending geographic mirroring
  You can choose to temporarily stop geographic mirroring by selecting to suspend geographic mirroring.

• Resuming geographic mirroring
  If you suspend geographic mirroring, resume it in order to reactivate mirroring between the production and mirrored copies again.

• Detaching mirror copy
  If you are using geographic mirroring and want to access the mirror copy to perform save operations or data mining, or to create reports, detach the mirror copy from the production copy.

• Reattaching mirror copy
  If you detached the mirror copy and have completed your work with the detached mirror copy, reattach the detached mirror copy in order to resume using geographic mirroring.

• Changing disk pool attributes
  You can change the geographic mirroring attributes for a disk pool from the production copy when the disk pool is unavailable.

• Deconfiguring geographic mirroring
  If you no longer want the capability to use geographic mirroring for a specific disk pool or disk pool group, you can select to Deconfigure Geographic Mirroring. If you deconfigure geographic mirroring, the system stops geographic mirroring and deletes the mirror copy of the disk pools on the nodes in the mirror copy site.

• Troubleshooting geographic mirroring
  Review the geographic mirroring message descriptions and recoveries to resolve your geographic mirroring questions.
