The Split Mirror functionality is achieved through the storage subsystem
(i.e. Hitachi ShadowImage, EMC Symmetrix BCVs, IBM ESS Flashcopy, etc.).
The specific implementation details are unique to each solution.
There are white papers on IBM's site that describe the technical
details. See the one for HDS:

Good luck,
