HP Storage Mirroring V5.1 Software - Manual (Page 56)

2. If your target is a cluster, create a virtual server (including resources for an IP address, network
name, and physical disk) on the target cluster. With this configuration, if there is a source failure,
the data will be available for the users from the target cluster, regardless of which node is
currently in control. MSCS will handle failover between the nodes of the target cluster. Storage
Mirroring will handle failover between the source (cluster or standalone) and the target cluster.
See your Microsoft documentation if you need assistance creating a virtual server on the target
cluster.
3. On your source, create a replication set from the Management Console.
a. Highlight the source in the left pane of the Management Console and select Insert,
Replication Set from the menu bar. You can also right-click on the source name and select
New, Replication Set.
b. A replication set icon appears in the left pane under the source. By default, it is named New
Replication Set. Rename the newly inserted replication set with a unique name by typing over
the default name and pressing Enter. This process is similar to naming a new folder in
Windows Explorer.
c. Expand the tree under the replication set name to view the volume and directory tree for the
source.
d. Identify the data on the source associated with the group with the virtual server that you
want to protect by selecting volumes, drives, directories, and/or specific files.
e. After selecting the data for this replication set, right-click the new replication set icon and
select Save. A saved replication set icon will change from red to black.
NOTE: If your source is a cluster, you need to create the replication set on the node which
currently owns the group with the virtual server you want to protect.
NOTE: The default number of files that are listed in the right pane of the Management
Console is 2500, but this is user configurable. A larger number of file listings
allows you to see more files in the Management Console, but results in a slower
display rate. A smaller number of file listings displays faster, but may not show
all files contained in the directory. To change the number of files displayed, select
File, Options and adjust the File Listings slider bar to the desired number.
To hide offline files, such as those generated by snapshot applications, select File,
Options and disable Display Offline Files. Offline files and folders are denoted
by the arrow over the lower left corner of the folder or file icon.
NOTE: Be sure and verify what files can be included by reviewing Replication
capabilities on page 4-3.
