The following table identifies how the visual indicators change as the status of failover changes.
Testing failover
The failover process, including script processing, can be tested at any time. To force unavailability,
disconnect the network cable from a monitored machine, wait for the Time to Fail counter to
decrease to zero and failover begins. To avoid the countdown delay, highlight the monitored machine
name in the Failover Control Center window and select Failover.
Failover manual intervention
If Manual Intervention is enabled, the Failover Control Center will prompt you when a failure occurs.
Click
Cancel to abort the failover process. If necessary, you can initiate failover later from the Failover
Control Center. Click OK to proceed with failover.

changes from green to yellow, indicating that the target has not received a response from the

NOTE: If the Failover Control Center is not running at the time the failure occurs, the manual
intervention dialog box will appear the next time the Failover Control Center is started.
When a failure occurs, an alert is forwarded to the Linux system log. You can then start
the Failover Control Center and respond to the manual intervention prompt.
If SNMP is installed and configured, an SNMP trap is also generated. When using a
third-party SNMP manager, an e-mail or page can be generated to notify you of the
failure.
