4 Click the down arrow button to lower that logical device's priority from mirror manager to mirror plex. The two logical devices exchange priorities-the original mirror manager becomes the mirror plex. 5 Click OK to complete the change. The Job Manager opens (see page 115) and the job begins. Failing Over a Mirrored Volume When a data-access problem occurs on a mirrored volume, failover (from the original volume to the mirror) occurs automatically. You can also force a failover. You might want to do this if: • You want to test the failover setup. • You need to take the volume (or mirror manager) off-line for maintenance. • You want to change the mirror priority. (See "Changing Mirror Priorities" on page 75 for an alternative to failover.) Note You can't fail over a mirrored volume unless the mirror is fully synchronized. To fail over a mirrored volume: 1 In the Enterprise View, select the iSCSI Storage Host you want. 2 In the Volumes View, right-click the mirrored volume you want, then select Fail over mirror. 3 Click Yes to fail over the mirror. The mirror is failed over. Any system that was accessing the original volume automatically begins to access the mirror instead. Failing Back a Mirrored Volume When a data-access problem occurs on a mirrored volume, failover (from the original volume to the mirror) occurs automatically. Use Adaptec Storage Manager to fail back the mirrored volume and restore the original volume to mirror manager after the problem has been solved. Note You can't fail back a mirrored volume unless the mirror is synchronized. To fail back a mirrored volume: 1 In the Enterprise View, select the iSCSI Storage Host you want. 2 In the Volumes View, right-click the mirrored volume you want, then select Fail back mirror.
