The messages that are output by Mirroring Controller are output to the system log. If the automatic switch fails, for example, an important message related to the continuation of the operation may be output, so ensure that the system log messages are monitored.
Point
To monitor message types considered to be important, a setting must be configured in the system log beforehand.
Refer to the operating system manuals, check if the message is of a message type that is monitored to be output to the system log, and configure the setting if required.
