Removing failover configuration
If you want to discontinue monitoring a source, highlight that machine on the Monitored Machines
tree on the main Failover Control Center screen and click Remove Monitor. No additional dialog
boxes will open.
Monitoring failover
Since it can be essential to quickly know the status of failover, Storage Mirroring offers various
methods for monitoring the state 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.
