Configuring scripts

Scripts are executed at different points during failover, failback, and restoration. The scripts perform actions to make your applications available on the appropriate server. Editing scripts is an advanced feature. Do not modify the scripts unless you are familiar with Double-Take Availability, your application, and scripting. Any edits should be made carefully and tested prior to deployment to ensure the changes are correct. Incorrect script changes could cause failover issues.

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.

   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. Click on the button associated with the script you want to edit.
• Failover Script—This script is executed automatically on the target after the core failover processes have completed.
• Failback Script—This script is executed automatically on the target before the failback processes begin.
• Restore Script—This script is not executed automatically, but is available for the source if needed.

• Post Failback Script—This script is not executed automatically, but is available for the target if needed.

  Any changes you save to the scripts will be copied to the appropriate server when the configuration changes are accepted. If you reconfigure your application protection after making script changes, Application Manager will copy updated scripts to the appropriate server, overwriting any changes that you manually made. You should make a backup copy of your script changes to copy over after making Application Manager updates. If you want to make the script changes permanent, you must modify the script files manually in the Double-Take Availability installation location.

3. Click OK to save the settings.
