DataKeeper for Windows All Documentation - SIOS

Scenario #2Does DataKeeper continue to track changes on the Source server?AnswerYes. The Bitmap (# of Dirty Sectors) will continue to be updated on the Source server while the mirror is in thePAUSED state.QuestionOnce the network is resumed, will a partial resync to the Target server occur?AnswerYes. The mirror will go to the RESYNC state and remain there until all dirty sectors are written to the Targetserver. It will be a partial resync.Scenario #2In a 2-Node, non-clustering configuration (1x1) replicating a 100TB volume between Source and Target over aWAN connection, the network goes down for twelve hours. The Source server is rebooted while the networkis down.QuestionIn this scenario, what would happen to the status of the Source server in DataKeeper Standard Edition?AnswerThe Bitmap on the Source server is persistent (on disk), so it will not be affected by a Source reboot. Only apartial resync is needed if the Source server is rebooted. The Target server will report that it is in theMIRRORING state until it is reconnected to the Source server. Then it will go to the RESYNC state while theresync is proceeding.Reclaim Full Capacity of Target DriveQuestionHow do I reclaim the full capacity of my target drive when I no longer need it for mirroring?AnswerThe file system on the target drive is overlaid by SteelEye DataKeeper, thereby making it smaller than theactual partition size. Although Disk Management indicates the full partition size, SteelEye DataKeeper andWindows Explorer indicate the smaller mirror size. To reclaim full capacity of the drive, reformat the partitionor use a partition resizing utility such as GParted (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/).Resize or Grow Mirrored VolumesQuestionCan you resize or grow mirrored volumes?DataKeeper for Windows Technical DocumentationPage 157
