or Validate, a prompt will appear asking if you want to re-use the previous configuration information.

1.
In the Source Server field, select the SharePoint server that you want to protect. If this is your
first time to log in to the selected server, you will be prompted to enter server login information.
For more information about logging in to servers, see
Enter server login information
on
page 7-5.
2.
In the Target Server field, select the backup SharePoint server that will protect the source
server in the event of a failure.
Notice that after the source and target servers are selected, the Protection Status on the Monitor tab
changes to Unprotected.
Add or manage servers
If the servers you need do not appear, click the Advanced Find button, or select Actions, Manage
SQL Servers. The Manage SQL Servers window will appear.
To discover all servers in the domain:
1.
Click the Search button. The Discovered Servers list will be populated with all servers that the
Application Manager can discover that reside in the domain.
2.
To directly add a server to the drop-down list on the Manage SharePoint main page, select the
server in the Discovered Servers list, then use the >> button to move it into the Current
Servers list.
NOTE:
If the IP address(es) for the source or target server have changed since you originally
configured protection (for example, if you configure the source or target in a staging area
and then send it to a production location), you must re-configure the protection settings.
When you are prompted to re-use the previous protection configuration, click No, then
click the Configure Protection button.
NOTE:
You cannot protect a server if it is already functioning as a target server.
If you attempt to select a source that is currently unavailable, a prompt will appear
stating that the source is not available and that if the source is failed over, you should
first select the target.
If you select the target, then select the source (as recommended in the prompt), the
same prompt appears (though you would expect to get a prompt to failover). The
ability to failover using the Application Manager will not be available until a failover
condition has been met in accordance with the failover monitor settings set on the
Monitoring tab.
NOTE:
If you first select a target that is monitoring a connection that has met a failover condition
and requires manual intervention, then select the protected source server, a prompt will
appear asking if you want to initiate failover.
