Virtual workload ports

By default, Storage Mirroring Recover uses port 6320 for all TCP and UDP
 communications. To verify or modify the ports, you must use the Replication Console.

1.

Open the Replication Console

.

2. Locate your servers in the server tree in the left pane of the Replication Console.

3. Right-click the server in the left pane of the Replication Console and select

Properties.

4. On the Network tab, verify or modify the Communications Port as needed. All

servers and clients in your virtual workload protection must be using the same port.

Storage Mirroring Recover uses ICMP pings to monitor the source for failover. A failover
monitor will not be created if ICMP is blocked (although the data and system state will
still be protected). You should configure your hardware to allow ICMP pings between the
source and target. If you cannot, you will have to monitor for a failure manually and
create a dummy monitor at failover time that can be manually failed over. Contact
technical support for assistance with this manual process.
