Monitoring Tools
Storage Mirroring offers a variety of tools for monitoring Storage Mirroring activity. With these monitoring tools, you can

and/or errors.

pane.
! At-a-glance monitoring includes icons and graphics to quickly determine the status of Storage Mirroring machines
and connections.
! The Message Window displays alert messages.
! Text Client Tools
! The Text Client main window displays source/target connection and statistical information.
! The status command displays connection and status information.
! Operating System Dependent Tools
! The Windows Event Viewer receives alerts from the Storage Mirroring service and logs them to the application log.
! The Windows Performance Monitor displays statistical information including connection and processing statistics.
! Operating System Independent Tools
! DTStat is a utility that reports statistical information including connection and processing statistics.
! LogViewer is a utility that gathers Storage Mirroring alerts which are written to disk and can be displayed using the
LogViewer utility.
! An SNMP Management Console receives both statistics and alerts from Storage Mirroring.
NOTE: Regardless of the monitoring tool you are using, you may see replication operations during a mirror, even if
you are not currently replicating any data. These operations are pre-allocating space in order to avoid
fragmentation on the target. These operations are normal.
