Select a local storage system as the source for the data transfer.

Select a primary volume from the local storage system.

Select a remote storage system as the destination for the data transfer, and then select a secondary volume.

Select synchronization and resynchronization priorities.

Begin the initial data transfer from the primary volume to the secondary volume. Depending on the volume size, this initial transfer could take several hours.

In Unified Manager, launch SANtricity System Manager for the local array.

In SANtricity System Manager, view the status of the mirroring operation. When mirroring is complete, the status of the mirrored pair is "Optimal." The two arrays attempt to stay synchronized through normal operations. Only new and changed blocks are transferred from the primary volume to the secondary volume.
