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. 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 can be more easily interchanged. You can also use these different files to initiate failovers without using the Full-Server Failover Manager GUI.
Note: | Because network adapters are uniquely identified on each server, the Network Mappingis not stored in the default settings |
If you want to reset the configuration settings back to the default settings, select File, Defaults, Reset Defaults.
