4. Click Connect to establish the connection.
Note:
The settings on the other tabs of the Connection Manager are advanced
settings. You can modify any of them before or after establishing your
connection.
If you decide to enable orphan file processing while you are establishing
your connection, orphan files will not be immediately processed when you
create the connection. This setting is for processes that are run after a
connection is already established (remirror, auto-remirror, verification, and
so on).
Establishing a connection across a NAT or firewall
If you are in an IPv4 environment and your source and target are on opposite sides of a
NAT or firewall, you will need special configurations to accommodate the complex
network environment. Additionally, you must have the hardware already in place and
know how to configure the hardware ports. If you do not, see the reference manual for
your hardware.
In this environment, you must have static mapping where a single, internal IP address is
always mapped in a one-to-one correlation to a single, external IP address. Storage
Mirroring Recover cannot handle dynamic mappings where a single, internal IP address
can be mapped to any one of a group of external IP addresses managed by the router.
1. Storage Mirroring Recover uses specific ports for communication between the
Storage Mirroring Recover servers and Storage Mirroring Recover clients. In order
to use Storage Mirroring Recover through a NAT or firewall, you must first verify the
current Storage Mirroring Recover port settings so that you can open the correct
ports on your hardware to allow Storage Mirroring Recover machines to
communicate with each other. By default, Storage Mirroring Recover uses port
6320 for all communications. If you have changed your Storage Mirroring Recover
port, you will need to identify what port number is being used. The port setting can
be found in the following locations.
● Replication Console—From the Replication Console, select File, Options,
and the Configuration tab.
● Failover Control Center—From the Failover Control Center, select Settings
, Communications.
● Storage Mirroring Recover server—From the Replication Console, right-
click on a server in the tree in the left pane of the Replication Console, select
Properties, and the Network tab.
Note:
If you change any of the port settings, you must stop and restart the
