Data workload failover

When you established your data workload protection, you only protected the data. You
still need to establish failover monitoring, so that the target can stand in for the source in
the event of a source failure, and your end users can access the data from the target.

Configuring failover monitoring

1.

Open the Failover Control Center

the Browse button to search for a target machine name. Click OK to
select the target machine and return to the Failover Control Center main
window.

3. Click Login to login to the selected target.

and click OK.
