8 Validate the Configuration
Click Validate , or select Actions, Validate , to ensure that the source and target servers are configured correctly
for failover. A description of the validation activity being performed is displayed in the status bar at the bottom
of the Application Manager window, along with status progress indicator. When validation completes, the
status progress indicator is removed.
• If you are using DNS Failover and did not enter DNS credentials on the Configure Protection window, you
will be prompted to enter a user name and password for accessing/modifying DNS records.
• If the configuration is good, a green checkmark icon will appear next to a validation message that states
that the servers are configured correctly. Continue with the next section, ” Enable protection ”.
• If the validation detects potential configuration issues, an icon will appear next to the message(s). The
following table identifies the icons and the validation conditions that they represent. Double-click on a
message to view details concerning the issue. On the Validation Details window, review the additional
information, and, if available, click Fix and Application Manager will attempt to resolve the issue. If you
would rather address the issue manually, click Cancel . After correcting any issues, click Validate again to
verify the change was made.
NOTE: If you run a validation against a source/target pair that is in a Protected state and the validation
detects issues with the target (such as the target is missing or contains incorrect data), the Fix or Fix All button
will be disabled. You must disable protection for the source/target pair before you can fix the issue. Then, you
can re-enable protection.
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.
