Configuring items to failover

If you are performing an identity failover, then you have already selected the Items to Failover. Changing any of the Items to Failover on the Advanced tab will automatically make the same change on the Failover tab Configure Identity Failover page. However, if you are performing DNS failover, you may want to modify the items that you are failing over using the instructions below.

  1. Make sure you have a valid domain and servers specified, click Configure from the main Application Manager page, and then select the Advanced tab.
    2. Note: The fields on the Advanced tab will vary depending on the type of application you are protecting. In addition, the fields will vary depending on if you launched Application Manager in standard or advanced mode.
  2. 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 server name, file shares, and/or Active Directory host name.
    3. 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.
  3. Click OK to save the settings.
