Configuring identity failover

Application Manager will automatically determine default identity failover settings. Use the following instructions to modify the identity failover settings.

  1. Under Source IP address to failover, map a Source IP address to a Target NIC. The target NIC will assume the source IP address during failover. The Target IP addresses list displays the IP address(es) of the selected Target NIC.

  1. The default selected items under Items to Failover will depend on the application you are protecting. Enable or disable if you want to failover the source's IP addresses, server name, file shares, and/or Active Directory host name.
    2. Note:

    If your source and target are on different subnets, you should not failover the IP address.

    If you are protecting Exchange, do not failover the Active Directory host name.

    If you are protecting SQL, do not failover the server name.

    You cannot failover file shares from a parent to child domain.

  2. Click OK to save your settings.
