Problems Creating Async Mirror Group

JAJIMENEZ — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 22:59:00 GMT

Hello,

Does anyone know if you can replicate volumes from a disk pool that has encryption drives capable (but NOT enabled) to another volume/disk pool that does not have encrypted drives capability?

I seem to be having issues completing the Async Mirror Group at the TARGET side and not seeing the destination volumes/disk pool. The only thing different between the source/target is the encrypted drive capabilities.

Hi,

You can protect your mirror group with Full Disk Encryption (FDE), but the drive attributes must match on both the primary volume on the local storage array and the secondary volume on the remote storage array regardless of whether FDE is enabled or disabled.
