Storage Mirroring Evaluation Guide

4.6 Configuring failover

When you were looking at the advanced options in the Connection Manager, you noticed a

Failover tab allowing you to configure failure monitoring. For this section we are going to use the

Failover Control Center so that you can see all of the options and get a feel for how flexible the

configuration options are and how easy it is to set up and monitor a source machine.

1. From your client machine, open the Failover Control Center (from the desktop, select

Start, Programs, HP OpenView Storage Mirroring, Failover Control Center or

from within the Connection Manager, select Tools, Failover Control Center).

2. Select your target from the Target Machine list box.

3. Select the source machine to monitor by clicking Add Monitor. The Insert Source

Machine dialog box appears.

4. Type in your source machine name and click OK. The Monitor Settings dialog box appears.

This is where you set your monitoring configuration.

5. Select the source to be monitored by marking the check box to the left of the source

server name in the Names to Monitor tree.

NOTE: The remaining sections of this evaluation cover failover, failback, and restore. These

processes are used for high availability configurations. These sections are optional,

although you are encouraged to step through the procedures.

NOTE: For detailed information on the Failover Control Center display, see the HP

OpenView Storage Mirroring User’s Guide.

NOTE: You may need to log on to your target machine using your HP OpenView

Storage Mirroring administrator user name and password.

If the target you need is not listed, click Add Target, and manually enter a

name or select the Browse button to search for a target machine name.
