You can filter the list of virtual machines by the IP address of a source DS-Client in conjunction with its source port. • Source DS-Client IP: Select All to list all the virtual machines. Select a source DS-Client IP to filter the list. • Source Port: Select the source port that is used by a specific DS-Client if the same IP address is shared among multiple DS-Clients. | |
Each line in the list corresponds to one replicated virtual machine. Replicated virtual machines are shown in two sections: • Items ready for failover lists source virtual machines that have been replicated to the destination server. • Items ready for failback lists target virtual machines that are being used after failover. | |
Source DS-Client IP | The IP address of the DS-Client that connects to the source virtual machine. This is the DS‑Client that generates replication data of the source virtual machine. |
Source Port | Specifies the port that is used by the source DS-Client for VM replication processes. |
Replication Set Name/Number | • In the source DS-Client, this column shows the name of the VM replication set that replicated the virtual machine. • In the destination DS-Client, this column shows the Set Number (which is the Set ID in Set Properties) of the VM replication set that replicated the virtual machine. The name and ID of the VM replication set is only shown as a reference. |
Server Type | The type of server that is currently hosting the source and target virtual machines. |
Source Path | Path to the source virtual machine. |
Destination Path | Path to the replication target virtual machine. |
Generations | Shows the replicated generation that is selected to be used for the failover process. Click >> to select another generation. |
Action | • Failover: Click this button to perform a failover on one virtual machine. • Failback: Click this button to perform a failback on one virtual machine. |
Trigger | To perform failover or failback on multiple virtual machines concurrently, select the check box that corresponds to the virtual machines and then click this button. Note: DS-Client allows a maximum of three concurrent failback activities and has no limit on concurrent failover activities. |
Refresh | To obtain an updated list of virtual machines that are ready for failover and failback, click this button. |
Close | To close the dialog box, click this button. No new failover or failback processes will be initiated. |
