NOTE:
In a cluster environment, make sure to include a “cushion” to account for the time it takes for the
cluster to failover.
•
Monitor Interval (sec)
—
(Default = 5)
How often the monitor checks the source machine availability.
•
Missed Packets (sec)
—
(Default = 5)
How many monitor replies can be missed before assuming the source
machine has failed.
Failover trigger
If you are monitoring multiple IP addresses, select one of the failover trigger options:
•
All Monitored IP Addresses Fail
—Failover begins when all monitored IP addresses fail.
•
One Monitored IP Address Fails
—Failover begins when any of the monitored IP addresses fail.
Manual intervention required
(Default = selected)
Manual intervention allows you to control when failover occurs. When a failure occurs, a
prompt appears and waits for you to initiate the failover process manually.
Disable
Manual Intervention Required
only if you want failover to occur immediately when a failure condition is
met.
Connection settings
The Connection tab includes options that will be applied to the specified source/target connection.
Route
This setting identifies the
Target IP Address
that the Storage Mirroring data will be transmitted through. You
should only change this setting if you want to select a different route for Storage Mirroring traffic. On a
machine with more than one NIC, this increases the flexibility of configuring Storage Mirroring activity. For
example, you can separate regular network traffic and Storage Mirroring traffic on a machine. The default
ports will be used.
