Completing the cluster configuration
You will finalize the cluster configuration by bringing the components online.
Bring the Components Online
From the Cluster Administrator ( Start , Programs, Administrative Tools , Cluster Administrator ) bring the Double-Take
Source Connection resource and the virtual server resources online.
Notice the warning signs are removed from the resource and the group. The State column indicates the resource is online
and functioning properly. The data is now being replicated from the source cluster to the target cluster.
NOTE: If the State column indicates failed, as it did prior to bringing the resource online, the connection has not
executed properly. When the resource has failed, the Storage Mirroring connection is not active and your data
is not being protected in the event of a disaster.
To troubleshoot a failed Source Connection resource, right-click the resource and select Properties . Select
the Parameters tab. Mark the Allow connection script to interact with desktop checkbox and click OK .
When you attempt to bring the resource online, the results from the connection script will be displayed on
screen on the node running the script allowing you to see what is causing the failure.
When using the Allow connection script to interact with desktop option with the Double-Take Source
Connection resource, the resource will report a pending state until the command prompt is closed. The actual
status of the resource can be obtained by viewing the script output in the command prompt. Additionally,
closing the command prompt by clicking on the close button in the upper right hand corner of the prompt will
cause the resource to report a failure. Closing the command prompt by pressing a key on the keyboard ensures
that the resource will report its correct state. Additionally, if you administer the cluster through Terminal
Services, the command prompt windows will not appear on your Terminal Services client, only on the nodes
themselves.
For additional information on the scripts used, see Understanding the Double-Take Source Connection resource
on page C-24.
If you need to terminate the Storage Mirroring connection, right-click the resource and select Take Offline .
The resource will appear, offline, in the Cluster Administrator. If the Double-Take Source Connection
resource is offline, data is not being replicated and is not protected in the event of a disaster.
