Connection display

You can monitor the connection by understanding the different icons displayed in the Management Console.

! Established Connection Status Icon—The source/target connection status appears as an icon to the left of the

replication set name. (If you have reordered the connection data items displayed, the icon will appear to the left of the

first column that is displayed.)

! Established Connection Background Color Display—The Storage Mirroring Management Console polls the source

machine to determine the status of the source/target connection. The background color of an established connection

identifies whether or not the Management Console and the source are communicating.

Description

A green checkmark appears in the right pane of the Management Console to the left of the connection

data line for an established connection that is working properly.

A red X appears in the right pane of the Management Console to the left of a connection that contains

an error. There are five cases that can lead to an error state:

! The transmission has been broken

! Replication is in a pending state

! The target is not loaded

! The target is busy

! The source machine has reached the Stop Replicating Limit indicating that it is out of memory

To determine the exact problem, use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the right pane of the

Management Console and scroll to find the connection data item that appears in red. The connection

problem is indicated in red.

Note: The red X will only appear if replication is in a pending state due to processing. If replication is

manually stopped, either by not initating it when the connection is established or by manually stopping

it, the connection will have a green check mark even though replication is not occurring.

White If the background is white, the Management Console has received a response from the source indicating

that the source and Management Console are communicating.

Gray If the background is gray, the number of missed responses from the source has been exceeded,

therefore, communications between the Management Console and the source has been lost. The

connection statistics are not updating when the background is gray. The background will return to white

and the statistics will begin updating again when the Management Console receives a response from the

source machine. For information on configuring the missed responses, see

Customizing when the

background color and icons change
