Prerequisites for using mirrored volumes

The following are prerequisites for using mirrored aggregates or traditional volumes.

• You must enable the SyncMirror license to receive important product information before enabling the SyncMirror feature.

  The SyncMirror license is available for free.

• The storage systems, or the storage systems in an active/active configuration, should support the SyncMirror feature.
  Note: FAS200 series storage systems do not support SyncMirror configurations.
• You must connect disk shelves to the storage system in a configuration that supports mirrored volumes.

For more information about configurations that support mirrored aggregates or traditional volumes, see the Data ONTAP Active/Active Configuration Guide.

For information about the disk shelves and other hardware supported with different storage systems, see the System Configuration Guide.
