Note:
● You cannot protect a server if it is already functioning as a target server.
If you attempt to select a source that is currently unavailable, a prompt will
appear stating that the source is not available and that if the source is
failed over, you should first select the target.
If you select the target, then select the source (as recommended in the
prompt), the same prompt appears (though you would expect to get a
prompt to failover). The ability to failover using the Application Manager
will not be available until a failover condition has been met in accordance
with the failover monitor settings set on the Monitoring tab.
● Server names must be 15 characters or less. If server name is longer than
15 characters, the server name is truncated in Application Manager and a
validation error is returned.
2. In the Target Server field, select the backup File server that will protect the source
server in the event of a failure.
Note:
In a parent/child configuration, you will need to click Advanced Find and
manually add the target server. The Application Manager only searches the root
domain (or domain entered in Domain Name) and since the target server is in a
child domain, it will not be auto discovered.
Notice that after the source and target servers are selected, the Protection Status on the
Monitor tab changes to Unprotected.
Note:
If you first select a target that is monitoring a connection that has met a failover
condition and requires manual intervention, then select the protected source
server, a prompt will appear asking if you want to initiate failover.
Adding or managing servers
If the servers you need do not appear, click the Advanced Find button. The Manage
Servers window will appear.
