  • Page 129: Using Worker Threads For Many-To-One Ip Mirroring

    IP Mirroring Using worker threads for many-to-one IP mirroring When implementing many-to-one IP mirroring, you must reduce the number of IP mirroring worker threads; otherwise, IP mirroring will not function properly. The total number of IP mirroring worker threads for all source appliances cannot exceed 200. When calculating this number, count by appliance, not appliance node because only one appliance node can process IP mirroring requests at a time.

  • Page 133: Understanding Resynchronization

    IP Mirroring Understanding resynchronization This section describes the differences between resynchronizing synchronous and asynchronous IP mirrors. It describes the following topics: Synchronous IP mirrors Asynchronous IP mirrors Common resynchronization issues Synchronous IP mirrors If the network goes down, synchronous IP mirroring (and all other network activity) stops. During this down time, the appliance software tracks replication requests in the source LUN’s journal file.

  • Page 134: Common Resynchronization Issues

    IP Mirroring Common resynchronization issues A description of common resynchronization issues follows: After you power off the resynchronizing node, synchronous IP mirrors disconnect. Temporarily disconnecting the IP mirrors starts resynchronization on the new resynchronizing node, (the peer node that is working). Resynchronizing ensures that the data on the source and target LUNs of the mirrors is current.

  • Page 135: Troubleshooting Ip Mirroring

    (each thinks it is the source), the user interface indicates that both mirrors were successful, but only one mirror was. It is unlikely that this situation will occur. However, HP recommends that the system administrator notify other system administrators before performing an IP mirror request.
