MirrorView Fracture

Hello all

I'm not sure of the difference between the following 2 statements. It seems to me that the result is the same, can anyone clarify please

With MirrorView/S, writes continue to the primary image but are not replicated to the secondary

during a fracture. Replication can resume when the user issues a synchronize command.

With MirrorView/A, the current updates stop during a fracture, and no further updates start until a

synchronize request is issued. The last consistent copy remains in place on the secondary image if

the mirror is to be updated.

One is for MirrorView sync and one for MirrorView async – which work differently.

See the MirrorView knowledgebook for more details

they are indeed strangely worded sentences.  When you fracture MirrorView pairs (/S or /A), updates to secondary image stop.  When you are ready to resume you simply synchronize them again (incremental sync).

Its the difference between MV/S fracture log use and MV/A  transfer bitmap & Gold copy
