Click

Finish

to complete the creation of the Double-Take Source Connection resource.

At this point, you are ready to bring the components online. But you cannot do that until the standalone target is up and
running. Therefore, you need to configure the target and then you will come back and bring the components online on the
cluster.

Configuring the standalone target

If you have not already done so, install Storage Mirroring on the target using the installation defaults.

The target machine should have drives or volumes with the same drive letters and are of the same approximate size as the
drives or volumes that are to be mirrored and replicated from the cluster nodes. No other special configurations is required
for the target machine, other than Storage Mirroring be up and running.

NOTE:

If the script is set to interact with the desktop, the results will be displayed on the owning node. The
resource will remain at the

Online pending

status until the script is manually acknowledged by a user.

Additionally, if you administer the cluster through Terminal Services, the command prompt windows
will not appear on your Terminal Services client, only on the nodes themselves. Therefore, this option
should not be a permanent setting, but should be used for troubleshooting if you are having problems
establishing a connection.

For additional information on the scripts used, see

Understanding the Double-Take Source Connection

resource

on page C-24.

NOTE:

The user must be a member of the

Double-Take Admin

security group on all nodes of the cluster

running a Double-Take Source Connection resource.

If you do not specify a logon, the ID used to start the cluster service will be used. Verify that the ID
has

Double-Take Admin

access.

NOTE:

The Storage Mirroring installation will prompt you to reboot the machine. You can reboot at a later time, but
in order for Storage Mirroring to function properly and for you to finish these instructions, you must reboot.

For complete installation details, see the Getting Started guide.
