Configuring failover monitoring
1. Make sure you have a valid domain and servers specified, click Configure from
the main Application Manager page, and then select the Monitoring tab.
2. To enable the target to monitor the source for a failure, enable Active Monitoring
Enabled. If this option is disabled, you will need to manually monitor the source
and initiate failover if the source fails.
3. To help you better control when failover occurs, enable Manual Intervention
Required. If this option is disabled, failover will occur immediately when a failover
condition is met.
4. Specify the following Monitor Settings.
l
Method to Monitor for Failover—You have three choices for having the
target monitor the source for a failure.
l
Network Access—ICMP pings are used to determine if the source is online.
Network devices, such as firewalls or routers, must have ICMP pings
unblocked in order to use this option.
l
Replication Service—The Storage Mirroring service on the target sends a
UDP request to the source, which replies immediately to confirm it is online.
Use this method if ICMP pings are blocked.
