the source. When the target receives the compressed data, it decompresses
it and then writes it to disk.
l Limit bandwidth—Bandwidth limitations are available to restrict the amount
of network bandwidth used for Storage Mirroring Recover data transmissions.
When a bandwidth limit is specified, Storage Mirroring Recover never
exceeds that allotted amount. The bandwidth not in use by Storage Mirroring
Recover is available for all other network traffic. If desired, enter a value, in
kilobits per second, to limit data transmission. The value you enter is the
maximum amount of data that will be transmitted per second.
l Fail over automatically if the target server cannot contact the source
server—If this option is selected, failover will automatically occur when the
target can no longer contact the source. If this option is disabled, you will
have to monitor communications between the target and source and
manually initiate failover when the target can no longer contact the source. In
either case, failover is not available until after the initial mirror has been
completed.
l Do not monitor for failover—Select this option if you do not want the target
to actively monitor the source for a failure. If you do not monitor for failover,
you will have to monitor the source manually on your own and initiate failover
manually if there is a source failure.
l Monitor for failover—Select this option if you want the target to actively
monitor the source for a failure. Specify the Monitoring interval, which is the
number of seconds between monitor requests sent from the target to the
source to determine if the source is online, and the Number of missed
intervals that trigger failover, which is the number of monitor replies sent
from the source to the target that can be missed before assuming the source
has failed.
Note: To achieve shorter delays before failover, use lower interval and
missed interval values. This may be necessary for servers, such as a
web server or order processing database, which must remain
available and responsive at all times. Lower values should be used
where redundant interfaces and high-speed, reliable network links are
available to prevent the false detection of failure. If the hardware does
not support reliable communications, lower values can lead to
premature failover. To achieve longer delays before failover, choose
higher values. This may be necessary for servers on slower networks
or on a server that is not transaction critical. For example, failover
would not be necessary in the case of a server restart.
