You can change the synchronization priority and resynchronization policy that the mirrored pair uses to complete the resynchronization operation after a communication interruption.
.About this task
You can edit the synchronization settings for a mirrored pair only on the storage array that contains the primary volume.
.Steps
. From the left panel, select menu:Mirroring[Synchronous mirroring].
. Select the mirrored pair that you want to edit, and then select menu:More[Edit settings].
+
The system displays the View/Edit Settings dialog box.
. Use the slider bar to edit the synchronization priority.
+
The synchronization priority determines how much of the system resources are used to complete the resynchronization operation after a communication interruption as compared to service I/O requests.
+
.More about synchronization rates
[%collapsible]
====
There are five synchronization priority rates:
** Lowest
** Low
** Medium
** High
** Highest
====
+
If the synchronization priority is set to the lowest rate, I/O activity is prioritized, and the resynchronization operation takes longer. If the synchronization priority is set to the highest rate, the resynchronization operation is prioritized, but I/O activity for the storage array might be affected.
. Edit the resynchronization policy as appropriate.
+
You can resynchronize the mirrored pairs on the remote storage array either manually or automatically.
** *Manual* (the recommended option) -- Select this option to require synchronization to be manually resumed after communication is restored to a mirrored pair. This option provides the best opportunity for recovering data.
** *Automatic* -- Select this option to start resynchronization automatically after communication is restored to a mirrored pair.
. Select *Save*.
