Now make sure on your server 2 that the drivers for the PCIe device are successfully installed and that it is visible in the
Device Manager.
At this point both servers have interfaced with the PCIe device, so that its respective I/Os can be switched back and
forth between them. Before switching the I/Os back to the primary server, be sure to terminate any applications that
generate I/O traffic.
Step 8: Open up the SNMP web UI once again and switch the I/O back over to Server 1. Be sure to leave the backup
server on while doing this. Once you switch I/O back to server 1, your new I/O Failover page will resemble the initial one
in the beginning of the process:
Step 9: You are now ready to boot up the primary server (server 1). Once you fully boot up your primary server, you can
access all the I/O allocated to it. If you so desire, you can switch the I/Os back over to the secondary server with the
ease of a button without having to reconfigure any of the two servers to handle those I/Os
