Chapter 6: Volume Configuration 101
Example:
If you are working in
a V-Switch cluster,
this volume must be
configured on both
V-Switches.
In Figure 48, a mirrored volume, Mirrored 1, is created using two children,
Simple 6 and Simple 11.

Replicating Data in a Mirrored Volume
If one child of a mirrored volume, the source, already contains data, the
data can be replicated to the second child, the destination, using the CLI
command volume mirror sync. This is done on-line while the source
volume is still exposed. See how to expose volumes “Volume Exposure &
Security,” page 107.
Data can also be replicated offline using the CLI command volume copy
create. On-line data replication is slower but allows the source volume to
remain on-line with no interruption of service to the volume host(s). Off-
line replication is faster than on-line replication but both the source and
destination volumes must be off-line which can create an interruption of
service to the volume host(s).
