In the Enterprise Storage Window, expand the objects where you see a + sign.
The Task Bar shown at the left allows the user to perform common functions such
as Creating LUNs and creating Mirrors and Snapshots. It brings up a Wizard to
guide the user through basic configuration tasks. Initially the Reserved LUN Pool is
empty and there are no RAID Groups, Thin Pools, Storage Groups, LUNs and Thin
LUNs. The Physical container shows a number of DAE3P and components in the
rack. The LUN Folders container allows a way to easily organize LUNs in the array.

Action
Expand and examine the following containers on the Primary (APMTOP) and
Secondary (APMBOTT) arrays
LUN Folders > Private LUNs
LUN Folders > SP A and SP B
Storage Groups
Remote Mirrors
Note The write intent log keeps track of writes that have not yet been made to the remote
image for the mirror. It allows for fast recovery when the primary storage system
fails. When the primary fails and is recovered, the write intent log is used to
synchronize the data on the remote image. Otherwise, a full resynchronization
would be required for the remote image. In situations where you must replace the
primary storage system due to a catastrophic failure, you can use a promotion to
access data on the secondary storage system. To recover and restore I/O access,
you must promote a secondary mirror image to the role of primary mirror image, so
that a server can access it.

On the Primary array (APMTOP) open the Remote Mirrors container and
expand out all options.
Right click on the Secondary Image and note the options.
Click Promote, read the Warning message, click Yes, then OK.
