4.9 Performing failback
If this was a real-world scenario, you would have the opportunity to fix the problems on the
source, without downtime for your end users because the target is standing in for the failed
server. When you have resolved the problems on the source, you are ready to perform failback.
Failback reverts the target back to its original identity so that the source can be brought online.
1. Before bringing your source machine back online, you will need to disconnect your existing
conection. This step is in preparation for the restoration that will be performed in the next
section. Open the HP OpenView Storage Mirroring Management Console on the source,
login to the source server, right-click the connection, and select Disconnect.
2. Now, from the Failover Control Center on your client machine, select the target machine
that is standing in for the failed source.
