Hyper-V HA Properties
If you wish to change a scenario configured through the Wizard or configure additional settings, you can use the Properties pane to modify the scenario.
The Properties pane and its tabs are context-sensitive and change whenever you select a different node from a scenario folder. You must stop a scenario before configuring its properties. Certain values cannot be modified once set; they are noted. For full details on configuring scenario properties and their descriptions, see the Arcserve RHA Administration Guide.
Properties are organized into tabs on the Manager Framework pane. The tabs displayed are based upon server type, Arcserve RHA solution, and scenario status. Select the scenario for which you wish to change properties, and then select the appropriate tab. The following screen shows an example:
- Settings on the Root Directories tab
-
Select a Master Server from the Scenario Pane. Double-click its Directories folder to add or remove Master Root Directories. You cannot directly update the Hyper-V root directory. Double-clicking it launches Auto Discovery, which lists all virtual machines on the Master.
Select a Replica Server from the Scenario Pane. For each Master Root directory, you must specify a Replica Root directory. Double-click the Directories folder for the Replica server.
- Settings on the Properties Tab

These settings establish default behavior for the entire scenario.

These settings establish server properties on both Master and Replica. Some settings vary by server type.

- (Replica) Recovery properties -- set delay or data rewind properties. Data rewind is On by default.
- Settings on the HA Properties Tab

These settings control how switchover and switchback are performed.
- Switchover properties -- choose automatic or manual switchover, provide switchover hostname, virtual network mappings, and reverse replication settings
