  • System, method and program for configuring a data mirror
    Patent number: 7721063
    Abstract: System, method and program for data mirroring. In response to identification of a new storage volume on a primary storage subsystem being designated for use, a plurality of parameters for the new storage volume needed for data mirroring are automatically determined. Also, a corresponding storage volume in a second storage subsystem to mirror data from the new storage volume in the primary storage subsystem is automatically determined. The parameters of the new storage volume are automatically entered in a data mirroring table. The table identifies the new storage volume, the parameters for the new storage volume and the corresponding storage volume. The table also maps the new storage volume to the corresponding storage volume such that data updates to the new storage volume are mirrored to the corresponding storage volume.
