Set protection options
Select the options you want to use during protection.
1. Compression—Select the compression level (None, Low, Medium, or High) to use when sending
data from the source to target server.
2. Target route—Select the IP address on the target server to which you want to send data.
3. Enable automatic failover—If you want the replica virtual machine to stand in for the source
server when the source is inaccessible, select this checkbox.
4. IP address to monitor for automatic failover—Select the IP address to monitor for
automatic failover.
5. Monitoring interval (seconds)—(Default = 5) Select how often the monitor will check the
source machine availability.
6. Missed intervals—(Default = 5) Select how many monitor replies can be missed before
assuming the source machine has failed.
NOTE: If your host is on multiple networks and has multiple addresses associated with those
networks, you can choose to use an IP address other than the one you entered for the
target in Selecting a target server on page 4-5.
NOTE: If automatic failover is enabled and a failover condition is met before the initial mirror
has completed, Storage Mirroring Virtual Recovery Assistant will attempt to failover to
the target virtual machine. To prevent potential issues, all protection jobs should be
configured to use manual failover until the initial mirror is complete.
