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 SharePoint 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
Entering server login information .
Note:
You cannot protect a server if it is already functioning as a target server.
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 on the Monitoring tab.
2. In the Target Server field, select the backup SharePoint server that will protect the
source server in the event of a failure.
Notice that after the source and target servers are selected, the Protection Status on the
Monitor tab changes to Unprotected.
Note:
If you first select a target that is monitoring a connection that has met a failover
condition and requires manual intervention, then select the protected source
server, a prompt will appear asking if you want to initiate failover.
Adding or managing servers
If the servers you need do not appear, click the Advanced Find button, or select
Actions, Manage SQL Servers. The Manage SQL Servers window will appear.
