90 Enabling Protection for a Server
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.
NOTE: You cannot use both the Failover Control Center and the Storage Mirroring Application Manager
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.
