Managing Failover Through the Failover Control Center
Through the Failover Control Center, you can configure and monitor the failover process. The failover settings determine
what users experience during a failover. In addition, the Failover Control Center can be used to initiate the failback process
and to offer additional options.
Configuring monitoring and failover
1. The Failover Control Center can be started from within the Management Console or from the Windows desktop.
 From the Management Console, select Tools, Failover Control Center.
 From the Windows desktop, select Start, Programs, Storage Mirroring, Linux Failover Control Center.
2. Select a failover target from the Target Machine list box. If the target you need is not listed, click Add Target and
manually enter a name or IP address (with or without a port number). If your Linux server is advertising iself via
NETBIOS, you can also select the
Browse button to search for a target machine name.
3. Click OK to select the target machine and return to the Failover Control Center main window.
4. Select a source machine to monitor by clicking Add Monitor. The Insert Source Machine dialog box appears.
NOTE: You may need to log in to a target machine using your Storage Mirroring administrator username and
password.
