● Pre-Failover Script and Post-Failover Script—If you want to execute a
script on the target before failover (pre-failover) begins or after failover has
occurred (post-failover), specify the path to the script on the target. You can
also search for the script by clicking Browse. The script will be processed
using the same user account that is configured to run the Storage Mirroring
service. Scripts may contain any valid Windows command, executable,
batch, or script file. The Pre-Failover Script will be executed as soon as the
failover process is initiated. The Post-Failover Script will be executed after
the failover process ends and the target has been rebooted.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
Mapping network configuration on the target for post-failover
1. Make sure you have a valid source and target specified, click Configure
protection from the main Full-Server Failover Manager page, and then select the
Failover tab.
2. Specify how you want to handle network configurations on the target after failover.
● Apply source network configuration to the target—If you select this
option, the source IP addresses will be failed over to the target. The IP
addresses associated with each NIC on the source will be mapped to the
NIC you specify on the target. If the source has more NICs than the target,
some of the source NICs will not be mapped to the target, or the target NICs
may need to be used for more than one source NIC. If there are more NICs
on the target than the source, the additional NICs will still be available after
failover. If you are using a LAN environment, you should select this option.
● Retain target network configuration—If you select this option, the source
IP addresses will not be failed over to the target. The target will retain all of its
original IP addresses. If your target is on a different subnet (typical of a WAN
environment), you should select this option. The following options are
available if you want to update DNS.
● DNS Server—The source’s primary DNS server is selected by default.
If desired, you can select a different DNS server.
● Source Server IP—Select the IP address from the source that you
want to remap to an IP address on the target.
● Target Server IP—Select an IP address on the target that will be
replace the source IP address in DNS.
● Username—Specify a user that has privileges to access and modify
DNS records. The account must be a DNS Admin for the domain in
which the DNS server resides. You can enter a user name for a
different domain by entering a fully qualified user name. The fully
qualified user name must be in the format domain\username or
