Storage Mirroring Service

After Storage Mirroring is installed and the machine is rebooted,

the service is automatically started. The Storage Mirroring service

controls the core functionality of Storage Mirroring including

mirroring, replication, and failover.

Manually starting the service

1. Open the Services applet.

Windows 200x—Select Start, Programs, Administrative

Tools, Services.

Windows NT—Select Start, Settings, Control Panel and

double-click the Services icon.

2. Select the Storage Mirroring service.

Windows 200x—Expand the Services and Applications tree

on the left pane of the Computer Management window, select

Services, and then double-click Storage Mirroring on the right

pane of the Computer Management window.

Windows NT—Double-click the Storage Mirroring service.

3. For the Storage Mirroring service, a startup parameter may be

used, but it is optional. In the Startup or Startup Parameters

field, enter one of the following switches:

! -s to start Storage Mirroring as a source

! -t to start Storage Mirroring as a target

! -x to start Storage Mirroring as both a source and target

If there are no startup parameters specified, the Storage

Mirroring service will start both the source and target

modules. This setting can be reconfigured from within the

Storage Mirroring client software. If startup parameters are

specified through the Computer Management or Control

Panel, they will override any settings previously saved from

within the client software.
