Full-server workload failover
Full-server failover can be initiated through the Full-Server Failover Manager client or by
using a command line interface.
● Failing over using the Full-Server Failover Manager
● Failing over from the command line
Failing over using the Full-Server Failover Manager
When a failover condition is met, you will want to start failover. Additionally, you can start
it without a failover condition, as long as protection is enabled. For example, you may
want to force failover when upgrading to a better source server.
1. To start failover, click Failover.
2. If Storage Mirroring Recover determines there is a possibility that the data on the
target is incomplete, you will be warned before failover begins. If you proceed with
failover, the state of the source will be unknown until failover is complete. The best
case scenario would be a missing data file, while the worst case scenario would
be missing system state data that causes the server to be unusable or unbootable.
Select your failover options.
