  • The Copy Data option lets you copy driver parameters (such as per-replica attributes of the driver) from one server to another, by choosing the source and destination server and which kinds of parameters to copy.

  • In the driver property pages, each section that is server-specific lets you click the server name to switch between servers. This feature allows you to see how the driver parameters are set on each server.

• If the server where the driver set is running has a version of the DirXML engine that is out of date, a warning is displayed on the Driver Set Overview page.

  For example, if you update the iManager plug-ins before updating the DirXML engine, the following warning is displayed: "The version of DirXML on this server is out-of-date. some features provided in the interface might not be supported by the version of the DirXML Engine on this server."

  An example is shown in the following figure.
