Mirrors
View information about the mirrors in IBM Cloud Object Storage, such as the pair of vaults in each of the mirrors and the number of COS Accesser nodes that are configured to access the mirrors. You can also see the related storage pools and sites.
A mirror combines two standard vaults from separate storage pools at different sites into a mirrored pair of vaults. Data is written to both vaults to maintain availability during a network partition or site outage. In this two-site deployment scenario for IBM Cloud Object Storage, two complete copies of the data are maintained.
- Accesser® Nodes
- The number of COS Accesser nodes that are configured to access the mirror.
- Acknowledged
- Shows whether a user marked the status of the mirror as acknowledged. An acknowledged status indicates that the status was reviewed and is either resolved or can be ignored.
- Source -> Target Vault
- The pair of vaults in the mirror. You can configure a mirrored pair of vaults in separate storage pools and sites to enable a two-site deployment of IBM® Cloud Object Storage.
- Status
- The status of the mirror. The status represents the most critical status that was detected on
the vaults in the mirror.
For example, if an error is detected on one of the vaults, an error icon
is shown for the mirror's status. If no errors or warnings are detected on the vaults, then
a green symbol is shown.
