ABSTRACT:
Replication of volumes is facilitated by tools which provide and manage a pool of mirror volumes. Primary (or production) volumes containing user provided data are easily mirrored by volumes selected from the pool. User criteria can be provided to limit the selection of candidate volumes for mirroring.
