Modifying Live Volumes with Automatic Failover
The following tasks apply to Live Volumes with Automatic Failover.
Update to the Local Tiebreaker
Updating to the local tiebreaker congures the Data Collector that the Dell Storage Manager Client is connected to as the tiebreaker.
Storage Manager provides the option to update to the local tiebreaker when the current Data Collector is not congured as the
tiebreaker. If another Data Collector is congured as the tiebreaker ,such as a Remote Data Collector, do not congure the current
Data Collector as the tiebreaker.

2. Click the Live Volumes tab then select a Live Volume.
3. Click Update to Local Tiebreaker.
The Update to Local Tiebreaker dialog box appears.
4. Select a Live Volume.
5. Click OK.
Enable Automatic Failover on a Live Volume
Enabling Automatic Failover allows the Live Volume to automatically failover to the secondary Live Volume after a failure. Automatic
Restore recreates the Live Volume relationship between the two Live Volumes. The active (previously secondary) Live Volume will
remain the in the primary role and the original primary Live Volume will become the secondary Live Volume.
Prerequisites
• Both primary and secondary Storage Centers must be running version 6.7 or higher.
