Managing Connections Through the Management Console
The Management Console can be used to establish, disconnect, and monitor a connection between the source replication set
and a target machine. In addition, the Management Console can be used to configure queuing and auto-reconnect.
Establishing a new connection
You can establish a new connection manually through the Connection Manager using the instructions below or using the
automated Storage Mirroring Connection Wizard, which prompts you for each option necessary to establish a connection.
1. There are four methods available for opening the Connection Manager and establishing a connection manually:
 Highlight a replication set and select Tools, Connection Manager.
 Right-click on a replication set and select Connection Manager.
 Drag and drop a replication set to a target machine on the left pane of the Management Console.
 Highlight a replication set and then drag and drop the replication set to a target machine on the right pane of the
Management Console.
The Connection Manager opens to the
Servers tab.
2. Some entries on the Servers tab will be completed depending on which method you used to access it. For example, if
you entered the Connection Manager by right-clicking on a replication set, the name of the replication set will be
displayed in the replication set field.
3. Verify that the correct source machine and replication set were selected from the Management Console. If they are not,
use the
Source Server and Replication Set fields to identify the source machine and replication set for which you want
to establish the connection.
4. Depending on the method you used to open the Connection Manager, the Target Server and Route fields may or may
not be completed. If they are not, select a target machine and the primary IP address of that machine will automatically
appear. If you have multiple IP addresses on your target, verify that the
Route field is set to the correct network path.
NOTE: The Orphans tab is dependent on the target selected, therefore, it will not be displayed until a target is
selected.
NOTE: To initiate a connection to the Throughput Diagnostics Utility, select the Diagnostics target. The Route
field will automatically populate with
Throughput Diagnostics Utility (TDU). The statistics generated by
the TDU can be viewed using DTStat. By default, the file name is
statistic.sts. For detailed
information on statistics logging, see DTStat on page 13-23.
If you are establishing a connection within a NAT environment, you will need to specify the port of the
router after the IP address (separated by a colon).
