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.

You reattach the detached mirror copy by accessing the production copy of the disk pool. The detached mirror copy must be unavailable when you reattach it to the production copy.

When you reattach the detached mirror copy, a complete synchronization is required between the production copy and the mirror copy. Synchronization can be a lengthy process.

To reattach the mirror copy, follow these steps:

  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand My Connections (or your active environment).

  2. Expand the system that owns the production copy of the disk pool to which you want to reattach the detached mirror copy.

  3. Expand Configuration and Service > Hardware > Disk Units > Disk Pools.

  4. Right-click the production copy of the Disk Pool you want to reattach and select Geographic Mirroring > Reattach Mirror Copy.
