Monitoring failover
Now that replication and failover monitoring are configured and started, you will need to know if and when there is a problem.
Since it can be essential to quickly know the status of your machines, Storage Mirroring offers various methods for monitoring
the status of failover. When the Failover Control Center is running, you will see four visual indicators:
‹ The Failover Control Center Time to Fail counter
‹ The Failover Control Center status bar located at the bottom of the window
‹ The Failover Control Center colored bullets to the left of each IP address and source machine
‹ The Windows desktop icon tray containing a failover icon
NOTE: You can minimize the Failover Control Center and, although it will not appear in your Windows taskbar, it will
still be active and the failover icon will still appear in the desktop icon tray.
The Failover Control Center does not have to be running for failover to occur.
