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.
Protection mode
For SQL, you can select one of the following protection modes:
”
Database only mode, Many-to-One configurations
SQL Instance (default)
Select
SQL Instance
protection mode to replicate all of the SQL program and data files (except the
\binn
directory) to the target SQL server. This will allow the clients to access your production SQL Server data and
functionality on the target in the event of a failure.
SQL Instance protection mode requires that the source and target servers both have the
exact
same version of
SQL (major and minor versions) as well as similar logical drive structures (the target must have at least the
same logical drives as the source where SQL program and data files are stored). Certain user databases can
be de-selected, but the System databases (except for
tempdb
) are required.
