NOTE: To display replication history: 1. Click Monitoring. 2. Below NAS Replication, select Outbound Replica Containers. 3. Select the Replication History button. Activate the Source Cluster When you configure the source cluster to serve client requests, you reverse the changes that you made when you activated the destination cluster for failover. While the source cluster is being activated, client connections might fail and need to be reestablished. However, the change should be transparent to clients as long as they continue to use the same FQDN to reach the SMB share or NFS export. Your environment will determine how you change the configuration. To activate the source cluster, either: • Change the Domain Name System (DNS) server to point to the source cluster. Make the change on the DNS server used to resolve any NAS cluster virtual IPs (VIPs). • Join the NAS cluster to AD or LDAP/NIS, if it has not been done already.
