The Failover Control Center does not have to be running for failover to occur.

The following table identifies how the visual indicators change when the source is
online.

Time to Fail Countdown

The Time to Fail counter is counting down and resetting each time a
response is received from the source machine.

Status Bar

The status bar indicates that the target machine is monitoring the source
machine.

Colored Bullets

The bullets are green.

When the Time to Fail value has decreased by 25% of the entire timeout
period, the bullet changes from green to yellow, indicating that the target
has not received a response from the source. The yellow bullet is a
caution signal. If a response from the source is received, the countdown
resets and the bullets change back to green. If the countdown reaches
zero without the target receiving a response from the source, failover
begins.

The Windows desktop icon tray contains a failover icon with red and
green computers.

The following table identifies how the visual indicators change when the source fails and
failover is initiated.

Time to Fail Countdown

The Time to Fail countdown value is 0.
