7-mode/HA pair/V-Series : Aggregates : Configuring aggregates : Mirroring an aggregate
Mirroring an aggregate
You can use the Aggregate management tab to mirror aggregates. You can create aggregates that consist of two copies of the same WAFL file system. The two copies are known as plexes. For both, aggregates composed of native disks and aggregates composed of array LUNs, SyncMirror creates two physically separated copies of an aggregate.
Before you begin
To mirror an aggregate, ensure the following:
•
SyncMirror license is enabled on the storage system.
