Aggregate requirements for Infinite Volumes in a data protection mirror relationship
Before you create a destination Infinite Volume, you must create enough aggregate space in the destination cluster for the destination Infinite Volume to use.
An Infinite Volume spans several aggregates, and aggregates are automatically selected for a destination Infinite Volume when you initialize a data protection mirror relationship. If the data protection mirror relationship cannot be initialized because of insufficient aggregate space, you receive an error message that informs you how to adjust aggregate space before trying the operation again.
You should use the following guidelines to create aggregates for destination Infinite Volumes:
•
The destination Infinite Volume and source Infinite Volume should have the same number of aggregates.
For example, if the source Infinite Volume uses four aggregates, you should create four aggregates for the destination Infinite Volume. The same number of aggregates for the source and destination Infinite Volumes is recommended, but not required.
•
The aggregates for the destination Infinite Volume must have enough space to contain a mirror copy of the source Infinite Volume.
•
The aggregates must meet the requirements of the storage classes used by the source Infinite Volume, if the source Infinite Volume uses storage classes.
Note: The size of the destination Infinite Volume must be equal to or larger than the size of the source Infinite Volume to successfully create a data protection mirror relationship.
