Establishing a Connection

You have three options for establishing a connection:

! Using the automated Connection Wizard in the Management Console

! Using the Connection Manager in the Management Console

Connection Wizard connection

The first time you start the Storage Mirroring Management Console, the Welcome screen leads you to the Storage Mirroring

Connection Wizard. The Connection Wizard will guide you through the essential steps necessary to establish a basic

connection. In the Connection Wizard, you specify:

! Source—The machine containing the data to protect. This is your production server.

! Target—The machine to receive the data from the source. This is your backup server.

! Replication Set—The data to be protected.

! Target Location—The location on the target machine to store the data.

! Advanced Options—The Connection Wizard allows you to open the Connection Manager to set advanced options.
