Restore Script
—A post-restore script (
post_restore_SharePoint.txt
) 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
SharePoint services on the source server.
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, click
on the button for the script you want to update and the script file will be displayed using your machine’s default
editor. Enter your changes, then 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 Storage Mirroring 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 (
post_failover_SharePoint.txt
,
post_restore_SharePoint.txt
, and
pre_failback_SharePoint.txt
).
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.
