Verify applications on the target
The application verification process confirms that an Exchange or SQL application
database on the target is viable for failover.
Note: The application verification process can only be performed on active connections
that are in a good state and are not failed over.
1. Verify that you have installed the Volume Shadow Copy Service SDK .
2. Verify that your current volumes have adequate space to contain snapshots of your
