It is critical that you follow some predefined procedure to confirm that a disaster really has occurred.
Use any of the following procedures to determine the status of the supposed disaster site.
- Use the following external interfaces:
- Ping
- Remote shell
- FilerView
- Protection Manager
- Use network management tools to test connectivity to the disaster site.
- Physically inspect the site, if possible.
Note: You should declare a disaster only after determining that a disaster has occurred
and that service cannot be restored.
