Managing Mirroring Using the Management Console
Through the Management Console, a mirror can be initiated upon connection, manually controlled, and monitored. In
addition, the Management Console can be used to configure orphan files and to automatically run an auto-remirror after an
auto-reconnect to ensure that data is identical on the source and target.
Initiating a mirror upon connection
1. There are four methods available for establishing a connection and opening the Connection Manager:
‹ Highlight a replication set and select Tools , Connection Manager .
‹ Right-click on a replication set and select Connection Manager .
‹ Drag and drop a replication set to a target machine on the left pane of the Management Console.
‹ Highlight a replication set and then drag and drop the replication set to a target machine on the right pane of the
Management Console.
The Connection Manager will open and the Servers tab will be selected. Complete the Servers tab entries as described
in Establishing a new connection on page 6-6.
2. Select the Mirroring tab.
3. Select the type of mirror, either Full or File Differences , to perform.
4. If you select File differences , you may additionally select one or both of the following options: Send data only if Source
is newer than Target and/or Use block checksum . To understand how these options work together, see the chart File
Differences Mirror Options on page 7-2.
5. Enable or disable the auto-remirror on auto-reconnect feature by marking or clearing the Remirror on Auto-Reconnect
check box. Specify the type of auto-remirror that will be performed. To understand how these options work together,
see the chart
File Differences Auto-Remirror Options on page 7-4.
6. By default, the Calculate Replication Set size on connection option is enabled. To disable this feature, clear the check
box. For detailed information on this feature, see Calculating replication set size on page 5-7.
7. Click Connect when you are finished.
NOTE: Other tabs are available in the Connection Manager to set advanced connection settings. To establish a
connection with mirroring options, you do not need to make modifications to these tabs; a connection can be
established with the default settings. For more information on these advanced settings, see the chapter that
corresponds with the tab name. For example, for information on the verify tab, see
Verification on page 9-1.
