You can use the Suspend option and Resume option to control when to synchronize the data on the primary volume and the secondary volume in a mirrored pair.
.About this task
If a mirrored pair is manually suspended, the mirrored pair will not synchronize until it is manually resumed.
.Steps
. From the left panel, select menu:Mirroring[Synchronous mirroring].
. Select the mirrored pair that you want to suspend or resume, and then select either menu:More[Suspend] or menu:More[Resume].
+
The system displays a confirmation.
. Select *Yes* to confirm.
.Results
System Manager performs the following actions:
* Either suspends or resumes data transfer between the mirrored pair without removing the mirror relationship.
* For a _suspended_ mirrored pair:
** Displays *Suspended* in the Mirrored Pair table.
** Logs any data that was written to the primary volume of the mirrored pair while synchronization is suspended.
* For a _resumed_ mirrored pair, writes the data automatically to the secondary volume of the mirrored pair when synchronization is resumed. A full synchronization is not required.
