5. On your cluster (source and/or target), you need to disable the standard Storage Mirroring connection controls so that
the MSCS resource that you will be configuring later can control the Storage Mirroring connections.
a. In the Management Console, right-click a node of the source cluster and select Properties.
b. Select the Setup tab and clear the Automatically Reconnect During Source Initialization check box.
c. Click OK to save the changes.
d. Repeat these steps on each node of the cluster(s).
6. If your source is a standalone server, establish your connection through the Connection Manager, selecting the virtual
server network name for the
Target Server and the virtual server IP address for the Route. See Establishing the
connection
on page 9-2 for details on establishing a connection through the Connection Manager.
7. If your source is a cluster, establish your connection by creating and bringing online a Storage Mirroring Source
Connection resource.
a. From the Cluster Administrator, right-click on the group and virtual server you are protecting and select New,
Resource.
b. Specify the following fields on the New Resource dialog box.
 Name—Specify a name that indicates this is the Storage Mirroring virtual server connection.
 Description—You can optionally add a more detailed description for this resource.
 Resource type—Specify Storage Mirroring Source Connection.
 Group—The resource group name should be selected. If it is not, select the correct group name.
c. Click Next to continue.
d. Verify that all of the cluster nodes appear as Possible Owners and click Next to continue.
e. The resource is dependent on the physical disk and network name resources. Select these two resources so that the
Storage Mirroring Source Connection resource is dependent on both of them. Click
Next to continue.
f. Specify your Storage Mirroring connection parameters.
 Replication Set—Select the Storage Mirroring replication set that you want to use. If the replication set you
want to use is not listed, click
Update List to refresh the list of replication sets from the source.
 Storage Mirroring Target—Specify the name or IP address of the target. If your target is a cluster, this is the
virtual name or virtual IP address of the virtual server you created on the target cluster. If your target is a
standalone server, this is the name or IP address of the standalone target server.
 Target Credentials—To specify the account to use when logging on to the target, click Set and enter the user
name, password and domain. Click
OK to save the settings. If you need to clear the target credentials, click
Clear.
 Source Path and Target Path—The path(s) for the replication set data from the source is displayed along with
the path where the copy of the replication set data will be stored on the target. If you want to change the
default target path, click on a path and manually modify the location.
g. Click Next to continue.
NOTE: The user must be a member of the Storage Mirroring Admin security group on all nodes of the
cluster.
If you do not specify a logon, the credentials used to start the cluster service will be used. Verify
that the credentials have
Storage Mirroring Admin access.
