Note: The switch failover operation is only allowed for Synchronous Long
Distance Remote Copy setups.
For Synchronous Long Distance Remote Copy, the InForm Management Console allows you
to switch failover of Remote Copy groups from one backup server to the other backup
server. For example, in a Synchronous Long Distance Remote Copy setup where source
server A is backed up to backup servers B and C, if Remote Copy groups are failed over
from source server A to backup server B, you can switch failover from backup server B to
backup server C.
Note: The following procedure assumes that failover has already been
performed on one backup system.
To switch failover Remote Copy groups:
1. Navigate to the Remote Copy Groups screen.
2. In the left pane, right-click the graphic of the system on which you wish to switch
failover and select Switch Failover Groups from .
The Remote Copy Switch Failover dialog box appears.
