19. If you are failing over or failing back hostnames, you need to specify an Active
Directory user that has update privileges within Active Directory. Click Credentials
and identify a user and the associated password that has privileges to create and
delete SPNs. The username must be in the format fully_qualified_domain\user.
Click OK to return to the Monitor Settings dialog box.
Note: The Active Directory account password cannot be blank.
20. If you are using any failover or failback scripts, click Scripts and enter the path and
filename for each script type. Scripts may contain any valid Windows command,
executable, or batch file. Examples of functions specified in scripts include
stopping services on the target before failover because they may not be necessary
while the target is standing in for the source, stopping services on the target that
need to be restarted with the source’s machine name and IP address, starting
services or loading applications that are in an idle, standby mode waiting for
failover to occur, notifying the administrator before and after failover or failback
occurs, stopping services on the target after failback because they are no longer
needed, stopping services on the target that need to be restarted with the target
machine’s original name and IP address, and so on. Specify each script that you
want to run and the following options, if necessary.
● If you want to pass any arguments to your script, specify the arguments.
● If you want to delay the failover or failback processes until the associated
script has completed, mark the appropriate check box.
● If you want the same scripts to be used as the default for future monitor
sessions, mark the appropriate check box.
● If you want to specify a user account to run the scripts, specify the credentials
for the source and target. If no account is specified, the scripts will be
processed using the same account that is configured to run the Storage
Mirroring service.
