Failing back and restoring a full-server workload

After your target has failed over and becomes your source, you can continue running
from the failed over server indefinitely. However, in some instances, it may be necessary
or desired to go back to using the original hardware after you have failed over. Because
the source identity now exists on the network (step 1 of the diagram), failback and
restoration requires manual preparation of the original or a new server (step 2 of the
diagram). Once the original or new server is prepared, you can mirror and replicate data
from the source to the new server (step 3 of the diagram), and when you are ready,
failover will convert the original or new server to the source (step 4 of the diagram on the
next page).
