Configure how you want to monitor the source server for failure.
1. By default, Active Monitoring Enabled is selected. Active Monitoring allows you
to enable or disable failover for the selected source/target pair.
2. By default, Manual Intervention Required is selected. Manual intervention allows
you to control when failover occurs. When a failure occurs, a prompt appears and
waits for you to initiate the failover process manually.
Disable Manual Intervention Required only if you want failover to occur
immediately when a failure condition is met.
3. In the Method to monitor for Failover field, select the ping method to use when
monitoring source IP addresses.

server sends a ping-like UDP request to the source Storage Mirroring
