Monitoring failover

Since it can be essential to quickly know the status of failover, Storage Mirroring
Recover offers various methods for monitoring the state of failover. When the Failover
Control Center is running, you will see four visual indicators.

your Windows taskbar, it will still be active and the failover icon will still appear in
the desktop icon tray.
