Failover/failback scripts
Scripts are executed at different points during the failover/failback process to perform the actions
necessary to make SQL available on the appropriate server. Scripts perform steps such as
starting/stopping services, attaching/detaching databases in database-only protection mode, and
modifying DNS entries on the DNS server to point users to the appropriate server.
Editing scripts is an advanced feature. Do not edit scripts unless you fully understand what each
command is doing.
Scripts are automatically generated by Application Manager during configuration. The scripts are
copied to the Storage Mirroring installation directory on the specified server using the administrative
share for that server’s drive.
By default, Application Manager generates all the required scripts for you automatically based on your
system configuration. You can also edit the scripts to add, modify, or delete specific commands. To
edit a script:
1. Click on the button for the script you want to update. The script file will be displayed using your
machine’s default editor.
2. Enter your changes.
3. Save the script file.
NOTE: You will need to manually verify that the rule path is correct since the Application
Manager does not validate rule paths.
NOTE: Removing rules that were automatically added by Application Manager could impact
the success of failover. Any changes to rules should be thoroughly tested.
Script File name Description
Failover post_failover_sql.txt A post-failover script is executed after the
core failover processes have completed on
the target server. The primary functions of
the post-failover script are to start the
services on the target and to modify DNS
and Active Directory entries as necessary.
Failback pre_failback_sql.txt A pre-failback script is executed before
failback processing occurs on the target
server. The primary functions of this script
are to stop services on the target and to
move DNS and Active Directory entries as
necessary.
Restore post_restore_sql.txt A post-restore script is not executed
automatically, though it is provided on the
source to perform actions that are generally
required after data has been restored from
the target to source after a failover/failback.
The primary function of this script is to
restart services on the source server.
