Monitoring a full-server workload
After you have enabled full-server protection, you can monitor the protection from the
Full-Server Failover Manager, and you can review the log file generated by Full-Server
Failover Manager.
The Protection Status is displayed in the right center of the Full-Server Failover
Manager. You can tell the status of your protection from this field.
● Disabled—Protection for the source has not been started. The target must be
validated as compatible before you can enable protection.
● Initializing—Storage Mirroring Recover is initializing protection. Once initialization
is complete, mirroring will automatically begin.
● Mirroring (% complete)—Storage Mirroring Recover is mirroring the source’s data
and system state to the target. The percentage indicates how much of the mirror
has been completed. Protection is not complete until the mirror has completed.
● Mirroring (Retrying)—You may see this status message if the target is out of disk
space or if Storage Mirroring Recover cannot write to a file on the target. Check the
log file on the target for more information.
● Mirroring (Mirror stopped)—You may see this status message if your mirroring
process has stopped. Depending on the reason for the stopped mirror, it may
restart automatically. Check your Storage Mirroring Recover log file.
● Mirroring (Source Unavailable)—You may see this status message if the source
has become unavailable during your mirroring process. You cannot failover until
the mirroring process is complete. Correct the issues causing the unavailability,
and mirroring will restart automatically.
● Mirroring (Op Dropped)—You may see this status message if the target server
cannot apply data to disk. For example, a file may be in use on the target. Check
the Storage Mirroring Recover log file on the target for more details.
● Enabled—The mirroring is complete and protection of the source is enabled. In the
event the source should fail, the target will be able to stand-in for it.
● Enabled (Source Unavailable)—You may see this message when the target has
lost communication with the source. If communication is reestablished before the
failover monitoring time expires, the status will update to Enabled. If
communication is not reestablished before the failover monitoring time expires, the
status will update to Failover condition met.
● Failover condition met—The target has missed too many responses from the
source, indicating that the source has failed. At this time, you need to manually
