c. When failback is complete, the post-failback script, if configured, will be started. When the
script is complete, you will be prompted to determine if you want to continue monitoring the
source, do not select either option. Leave the prompt dialog box open as is.
13. Back in the Management Console, watch the restoration connection until activity has ended and
replication is in a Ready state. This will happen as the final data in queue, if any, is applied on
the source. The replication Ready state indicates replication is waiting for new incoming data
changes. There will not be any additional data changes because failback has released the source
identity, so users are no longer accessing their data.
14. Once replication is in a Ready state, disconnect the restoration connection from the target. This
is the connection enclosed in parenthesis () and it has _Restore appended to the end of the
replication set name.
15. On the source, change the IP address that you modified earlier to the unique address back to its
original address. You can also enable any other NICs on the source.
16. Also on the source, change the source name back to its original name and reboot, or restart the
Workstation, Server, and any other services you were prompted to stop.
17. Once the source is back online, users can reconnect to the source.
18. Confirm the Management Console is communicating with the source using the original IP
address.
a. Right-click the source and select Remove.
b. Depending on your configuration, the source may be automatically inserted back into the
Management Console. If it is not, select Insert, Server. Specify the source server and click
OK.
19. At this time, you can go back to the dialog box in the Failover Control Center. Select Continue or
Stop to indicate if you want to continue monitoring the source. After you have selected whether
or not to continue monitoring the source, the source post-failback script, if configured, will be
started.
20. You can now reconnect your original replication set on the source to your target, to reestablish
protection.
NOTE: If your target is a cluster, take the Double-Take Source Connection resource offline to
disconnect the connection.
During the restoration, only the data is restored back to the source. Shares are not
created on the source during the restoration. Shares that were created on the target
during failover will need to be created manually on the source.
NOTE: The source must be online and Storage Mirroring must be running to ensure that the
source post-failback script can be started. If the source has not completed its boot
process, the command to start the script may be lost and the script will not be
initiated.
