Failover/failback scripts
Scripts are executed at different points during the failover/failback process to perform the
actions necessary to make SharePoint available on the appropriate server. Scripts
perform steps such as starting/stopping services, attaching/detaching databases, and
modifying DNS entries on the DNS server to point users to the appropriate server.
Editing scripts is an advanced feature. Do not edit scripts unless you fully understand
what each command is doing.
Scripts are automatically generated by Application Manager during configuration. The
scripts are copied to the Storage Mirroring Recover installation directory on the specified
server using the administrative share for that server’s drive.
Script File name Description
Failover
post_failover_
SharePoint.txt
A post-failover script is executed after the core failover
processes have completed on the target server. The primary
functions of the post-failover script are to start the services on
the target and to modify DNS and Active Directory entries as
necessary.
Failback
pre_failback_
SharePoint.txt
A pre-failback script is executed before failback processing
occurs on the target server. The primary functions of this
script are to stop services on the target and to move DNS and
Active Directory entries as necessary.
Restore
post_restore_
SharePoint.txt
A post-restore script is not executed automatically, though it
is provided on the source to perform actions that are
generally required after data has been restored from the
target to source after a failover/failback. The primary function
of this script is to restart services on the source server.
By default, Application Manager generates all the required scripts for you automatically
based on your system configuration. You can also edit the scripts to add, modify, or
delete specific commands. To edit a script:
1. Click on the button for the script you want to update. The script file will be
displayed using your machine’s default editor.
2. Enter your changes.
3. Save the script file.
