1. To begin 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.
For this evaluation, select Use live data and click OK.
3. Monitor the failover percentage as shown in the Protection Status. At the end of
failover, the target will be rebooted automatically. After the reboot, the target will no
longer exist, since it will become the source.
Note:
Because the Windows product activation is dependent on hardware, you
may need to reactivate your Windows registration after failover. Follow the
on-screen prompts to complete the reactivation.
After your target has failed over and becomes your source, you can stay with that
configuration long term. However, in some instances, it may be necessary or desired to
go back to using the original hardware after you have failed over.
