How to Attach a Submirror (DiskSuite Tool)

Before starting, identify the concatenation or stripe to be used as the submirror. It must be the same size (or larger) as the existing submirror in the mirror. If you have not yet created either, refer "Creating Stripes and Concatenations".

1. Make sure you have met the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Maintaining DiskSuite Objects"), and have read the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Mirrors").

2. Double-click an existing Mirror object in the Objects list and verify that its status is "OK."

   The object appears on the canvas.

3. Drag the Concat/Stripe object to be attached to the mirror to the top of the Mirror object.

4. Click the top rectangle of the Mirror object then click Commit.

   A resync of the new submirror is initiated.

5. To verify that the mirror was committed, display the Configuration Log.
