Connection settings

The Connection tab includes options that will be applied to the specified source/target connection.

Route

This setting identifies the

Target IP Address

that the Storage Mirroring data will be transmitted through. You

should only change this setting if you want to select a different route for Storage Mirroring traffic. On a

machine with more than one NIC, this increases the flexibility of configuring Storage Mirroring activity. For

example, you can separate regular network traffic and Storage Mirroring traffic on a machine. The default

ports will be used.

Protection mode

For SQL, you can select one of the following protection modes:

SQL Instance (default)

Database Only

Database only mode, Many-to-One configurations

SQL Instance (default)

Select

SQL Instance

protection mode to replicate all of the SQL program and data files (except the

\binn

directory) to the target SQL server. This will allow the clients to access your production SQL Server data and

functionality on the target in the event of a failure.
SQL Instance protection mode requires that the source and target servers both have the

exact

same version of

SQL (major and minor versions) as well as similar logical drive structures (the target must have at least the

same logical drives as the source where SQL program and data files are stored). Certain user databases can

be de-selected, but the System databases (except for

tempdb

) are required.
