Monitoring the activity and completion of the initial mirror

View your new connection in the Replication Console by highlighting the source on the
left pane. The connection will appear on the right pane. Use the horizontal scroll bar at
the bottom of the right pane to view the status columns. Pay attention to the Mirror
Status
column which shows the status of the mirroring operation. During the mirroring
process, you will see a percentage of the mirror that has been completed. When the
Mirror Status changes to Idle, there is no mirroring activity, meaning your initial mirror
has completed.

To view specific mirroring statistics that may be of interest, use the horizontal scroll bar
at the bottom of the right pane to view the various columns.

sent during this connection.

Sent Mirror (Bytes)—The total number of mirror bytes only that have been sent
during this connection.

l

performing a difference or checksum mirror. These bytes are skipped because the
data is the same on the source and target machines.

Remaining Mirror (Bytes)—The total number of mirror bytes only that remain to
be sent to the target.
