While there may be other Storage Mirroring connections between the selected source and target,

Application Manager only recognizes connections that it has created.
Any connection that has been built by Application Manager will be recognized as a valid connection,

regardless of the connection state.

Disable protection

You can disable an existing Application Manager-generated source/target connection monitor within

the Application Manager.
You must disable protection before you can change any of the Application Manager configuration

parameters.

1.

If you select a source that is already protected in the Source Server field, the target server will

be filled in automatically and the Protection Status should indicated Protected.

2.

Click Disable Protection at the bottom of the window, or select Actions, Disable Protection,

to disable protection.

Monitor protection status

After the initial mirror, your source server is protected.
To change whether failover monitoring is enabled, click the Enable/Disable Monitoring button at

the bottom of the window, or select either Enable Monitoring or Disable Monitoring from the

Actions menu.

Protection status states

The following table describes the possible protection status states.

SharePoint

BB_<source server>_<target server>

BlackBerry

SharePointdag01_<source server name>_<target server name>

NOTE:

If you modify your configuration on the source server (such as adding a new storage

group or database to a directory that was not included in the replication set), you must

disable protection, run validation and fix any issues, then re-enable protection to apply

the changes to the Application Manager replication set.

NOTE:

You cannot use both the Failover Control Center and the VMware interfaces to monitor a

source/target pair at the same time. Hewlett-Packard recommends that all monitoring

occur from the Application Manager interface. If both interfaces are open and a failover

condition occurs, failover will not be initiated until the failover prompt is cleared in both

interfaces.
