Failing over a mirrored volume
Normally, if the system detects a problem accessing data on a mirrored volume,
fail over, from the mirror manager to the mirror plex, is automatic.
Use this action to force a fail over from the mirror manager to the mirror plex.
You might want to force a fail over for the following reasons:
- To test your fail over configuration
- You need to take the mirror manager offline for maintenance
- You want to change the priority of the mirror manager and mirror plex
Note: As an alternative, use
the Modify mirror action to change the priority.
To fail over a mirrored volume:
- In the Volumes view, click
(mirrored volume).
- Right-click Fail over mirror.
- Click Yes to confirm the fail over.
