Understanding the Display

The Failover Control Center’s main window controls three types of failover activities:

‹

Identifying what the target is monitoring

‹

Configuring failover operations

‹

Monitoring failover activity

Identifying what the target is monitoring

The two main areas of the Control Center screen are the

Target Machine

selection and the

Monitored Machines/Names

pane. When a target machine is selected, any source machines and IP addresses that are currently being monitored are
displayed in an expandable and collapsable tree view. Selecting a different target machine will update the tree to reflect the
machines and IP addresses that the selected target is monitoring.

Configuring failover operations

The operational buttons located along the right side of the Failover Control Center window access failover configuration
dialog boxes and initiate failover processes.
