Storage Mirroring Recover failover can use ICMP pings to determine if the
source server is online. If you are going to use ICMP pings and a router
between the source and target is blocking ICMP traffic, failover monitors
cannot be created or used. In this situation, you must configure your router to
allow ICMP pings between the source and target.

Since there are many types of hardware on the market, each can be
configured differently. See your hardware reference manual for instructions
on setting up your particular router.

3. Manually insert the servers, by selecting Insert, Server. Type the IP address of the

router the server is connected to and the port number the server is using for
heartbeats.

4. Once your server is inserted in the Replication Console, use the

Connection

Manager

to establish your connection. When specifying the Route on the

Connection Manager Servers tab, you can manually enter the external IP address
so traffic is routed appropriately.
