HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring Application Manager user’s guide 57
You may enter a user name for a different domain by entering a fully-qualified user name. The fully-qualified
user name must be in the format NetBIOS domain name\username or username . If you enter a non-qualified
name, the default domain will be used.
Select source and target servers
You can either type the source and target server names into the Source Server and Target Server lists, or you can
click the Advanced Find button and add the servers. For more information, see ” Add or manage servers ” on
page 58.
If you select a source/target pair for which you have previously enabled and disabled protection, you may use
the existing configuration settings (provided that the source/target connection is not currently active, in which
case the existing settings will always be used). When you select Configure or Validate , a prompt will appear,
asking if you want to re-use the previous configuration information. Click Yes to re-use the previous
information, or click No to revert to the Application Manager default settings.
NOTE: If the IP address(es) for the source or target server have changed since you originally configured
protection (for example, if you configure the source or target in a staging area and then send it to a production
location), you must re-configure the protection settings. When you are prompted to re-use the previous
protection configuration, click No , then click the Configure Protection button.
1. In the Source Server field, select the file server that you want to protect. If this is your first time to log in to the
selected server, you will be prompted to enter server login information. For more information about logging
in to servers, see ” Enter server login information ” on page 58.
NOTE: If you attempt to select a source that is currently unavailable, a prompt will appear stating that
the source is not available and that if the source is failed over, you should first select the target.
If you select the target, then select the source (as recommended in the prompt), the same prompt
appears (though you would expect to get a prompt to failover). The ability to failover using the
Application Manager will not be available until a failover condition has been met in accordance with
the failover monitor settings set in the configuration section.
2. In the Target Server field, select the backup file server that will protect the source server in the event of a
failure.
NOTE: In a parent/child configuration, you will need to click Advanced Find and manually add the
target server. The Application Manager only searches the root domain (or domain entered in Domain
Name) and since the target server is in a child domain, it will not be auto discovered.
Notice that after the source and target servers are selected, the Protection Status on the Monitor tab changes to
“Unprotected”.
