Scripts are automatically generated by Application Manager during configuration. The scripts are
copied to the Storage Mirroring installation directory on the specified server using the administrative
share for that server’s drive.
By default, Application Manager generates all the required scripts for you automatically based on your
system configuration. You can also edit the scripts to add, modify, or delete specific commands. To
edit a script:
1. Click on the button for the script you want to update. The script file will be displayed using your
machine’s default editor.
2. Enter your changes.
3. Save the script file.
Any change you make to the script in the editor will be copied to the appropriate server when
configuration changes are accepted, thus overwriting any changes that have been made outside the
Application Manager.
The scripts can be overwritten by certain operations during setup. For example, any changes to
configuration options done in the Application Manager will overwrite previous script changes. If you
want to make permanent changes to a script, you must modify the appropriate .txt file within
the Application Manager installation directory. If there is more than one client machine that will be
configuring failover, the change must be made to all the appropriate .txt files.
Before running Application Manager multiple times (for example, when re-enabling protection after a
failover/failback), save a copy of your post-restore and pre-failback batch files. After Application
Manager executes, replace the default script file(s) with the customized file(s) that you saved.
Script File name Description
Failover post_failover_<source>_<target>
_bb.bat for distributed
environments, or
post_failover_<source>_<target>
_sql_bb.bat for consolidated
environments
A post-failover script is executed after the
core failover processes have completed on
the target server. The primary functions of
the post-failover script are to start the
services on the target and to modify DNS
and Active Directory entries as necessary.
Failback pre_failback_<source>_<target>_
bb.bat for distributed
environments, or
pre_failback_<source>_<target>_
sql_bb.bat for consolidated
environments
A pre-failback script is executed before
failback processing occurs on the target
server. The primary functions of this script
are to stop services on the target and to
move DNS and Active Directory entries as
necessary.
Restore post_restore_<source>_<target>
_bb.bat for distributed
environments, or
post_restore_<source
server>_<target
server>_sql_bb.bat for
consolidated environments
A post-restore script is not executed
automatically, though it is provided on the
source to perform actions that are generally
required after data has been restored from
the target to source after a failover/failback.
The primary function of this script is to
restart services on the source server.
