Understanding the Display
The Failover Control Center’s main window controls three types of failover activities:
 Identifying what the target is monitoring
 Configuring failover operations
 Monitoring failover activity
Identifying what the target is monitoring
The two main areas of the Control Center screen are the Target Machine selection and the Monitored Machines/Names
pane. When a target machine is selected, any source machines and IP addresses that are currently being monitored are
displayed in an expandable and collapsable tree view. Selecting a different target machine will update the tree to reflect the
machines and IP addresses that the selected target is monitoring.
Configuring failover operations
The operational buttons located along the right side of the Failover Control Center window access failover configuration
dialog boxes and initiate failover processes.
 Add Target—Allows you to specify a target machine that is not available in the Target Machines list and log on to it.
 Login—Allows you to log on to a selected machine.
 Add Monitor—Allows you to add a source machine to be monitored by the selected target and log onto it.
 Remove Monitor—Removes a source machine that no longer needs to be monitored.
 Edit Monitor—Allows you to edit the failover settings for a source machine that is currently being monitored by the
selected target.
 Failover—Manually initiates the failover process.
 Failback—Manually initiates the failback process.
