Configuring Full-Server Failover Manager options
You can configure options for the Full-Server Failover Manager client by selecting File, Options.
Refresh Interval—By default, the main window of Full-Server Failover Manager will automatically update every five (5)
seconds. If desired, you can modify the refresh rate. You can also refresh the main window manually by selecting
File,
Refresh.
Enable Verbose Logging—By default, Full-Server Failover Manager creates a log that maintains all processing information.
If desired, you can disable the option so that only basic processing information is logged.
Clear cached credentials on exit—By default, Full-Server Failover Manager will save the user credentials supplied for each
servers. If desired, you can clear the credentials that are cached so they are not saved. You can also clear the user
credentials manually by selecting
File, Clear Cached Credentials.
Saving and reusing configuration options
After you have created a protection pair and configured any of the optional settings you can save those settings so that you
can reuse them for future pairs of servers. Configure your options as defined in Configuring high availablity for an entire server
on page 7-2 and Configuring optional settings on page 7-4. Once you have the settings the way you want them, save them by
selecting
File, Defaults, Save Current Settings as Defaults. This creates a file called FFMDefaults.xml, which will
automatically be the default settings the next time you use the Full-Server Failover Manager. If desired, you can rename the
FFMDefaults.xml file and then save a new set of defaults to FFMDefaults.xml to be used by the Full-Server Failover
Manager. This would allow you to have multiple failover configurations, which you can be more easily interchanged. You can
also use these different files to initiate failovers without using the Full-Server Failover Manager GUI. For more information,
see
Running Full-Server Failover Option from a command line on page 7-10.
If you want to reset the configuration settings back to the default settings, select
File, Defaults, Reset Defaults.
NOTE: Because network adapters are uniquely identified on each server, the Network Mapping is not stored in the
default settings.
