Evaluating full-server protection
The following evaluation procedure has five tasks containing step-by-step instructions
for evaluating the full-server protection functionality of Storage Mirroring Recover.
Before starting this evaluation procedure, make sure you have reviewed the server
requirements and that you have installed the software on both the source and target.
Also, make sure that the target you select is compatible to stand-in as the source.
Note:
For the evaluation, you should install in a test environment. Do no use actual
production servers because you will be forcing a failure during the evaluation.
This evaluation consists of the following tasks.
1. Establishing full-server protection
1. Login as a user that is a member of both the Double-Take Admin and local
Administrators security groups.
2. Open the Full-Server Failover Manager.
3. Enter your source and target servers. You can click Browse when selecting either
server to locate it by drilling down through your network. After you have specified a
server name, enter login credentials when prompted. Once the server is selected
and logged in, the Properties tab at the bottom of the Full-Server Failover
Manager updates to display the server’s properties.
4. Optional protection settings are available but are not required for the evaluation.
Feel free to review the optional settings, if desired. A complete description of each
setting can be found in Optional full-server protection settings.
5. You must validate that your target is compatible with your source and can stand-in
if the source fails. Click Validate configuration. The Validation tab at the bottom of
the Full-Server Failover Manager updates to display the validation check. Errors
are designated by a white X inside a red circle. Warnings are designated by a
black exclamation point (!) inside a yellow triangle. A successful validation is
designated by a white checkmark inside a green circle.
