Removing failover configuration

If you want to discontinue monitoring a source, highlight that machine on the

Monitored Machines

tree on the main Failover Control Center screen and click

Remove Monitor. No additional dialog

boxes will open.

Monitoring failover

Since it can be essential to quickly know the status of failover, Storage Mirroring offers various

methods for monitoring the state of failover. When the Failover Control Center is running, you will

see four visual indicators:

The Failover Control Center Time to Fail counter

The Failover Control Center status bar located at the bottom of the window

The Failover Control Center colored bullets to the left of each IP address and source machine

The Windows desktop icon tray containing a failover icon

NOTE:

You can minimize the Failover Control Center and, although it will not appear in your

Windows taskbar, it will still be active and the failover icon will still appear in the desktop

icon tray.
The Failover Control Center does not have to be running for failover to occur.
