4. Wait until your Mirror Status has returned to Idle and then open the file DTVerify.log on your source. You will see
that all of the files are reported as the same.

Target Automatically
.
6. Confirm the synchronization of the file on the target.
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, Storage
Mirroring
, Linux 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.
At this point, in terms of your evaluation, your failover configuration is complete because you will be using the default settings.
But while you are viewing the Monitor Settings dialog box, notice the flexible configuration options available to you. The
following diagram points out the key features of the Monitor Settings dialog box. Check the Storage Mirroring User’s Guide
for complete details.
