With these flexible scripting features, application failover using Storage Mirroring can

be seamless to the end user. HP tests many of the popular applications on the market

today. The results of these testing procedures are written up into formal Application

Notes that describe how Storage Mirroring should be configured to work correctly with

certain applications, including scripting examples. For a complete list of Storage

Mirroring Application Notes, visit the HP web site.

NOTE:

If your target is a cluster, you need to repeat these steps to establish failover monitoring

on all nodes of the cluster, so that any node that could be the owning node of the target

cluster will be monitoring the source.
