5. Initiate failback by using the failback command. If you specified a pre-failback script in your
failover configuration, that script will be executed at this time.
When prompted to determine if you want to continue monitoring the source, either connect the
source to the network or change the source back to its original identity. Once the source is back
online, enter
Y or N to indicate if you want to continue monitoring the source. After you have selected
whether or not to continue monitoring the source machine, the source post-failback script, if
configured, will be started.
Command FAILBACK
Description Initiates the failback process for the specified monitor machine
Syntax
FAILBACK <monitor> [ON <target>] [REMONITOR|NOREMONITOR]
Options
 monitor—Name of the source machine designated as the monitor
 target—Name of the target, an IP address on the target, or a virtual IP
address
 REMONITOR—Automatically continues monitoring the source machine
after failback
 NOREMONITOR—Automatically discontinues monitoring the source
machine after failback.
Examples
failback alpha on beta
Notes
 If you do not select remonitor or noremonitor, you will be prompted after
failback is complete to select whether or not to continue monitoring.
 Options that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in
quotation marks.
NOTE: The source machine must be online and Storage Mirroring must be running to ensure that
the source post-failback script can be started. If the source has not completed its boot
process, the command to start the script may be lost and the script will not be initiated.
