HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Microsoft Exchange - Manual (Page 28)

HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for Exchange 2007 supports CCR.
•
If your CCR configuration uses a single HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System, you can rely on
a single backup server. You need not perform any additional configuration steps.
•
If your CCR configuration spans to two HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Systems, you require two
backup servers: one connected to each HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System. One backup
server acts as the backup server managed CCR active node, and the other acts as the peer
backup server managed CCR passive node. If the storage systems are at single site, this is
optional.
Both backup servers can execute Recovery Manager CLI commands.
You must use the HpRmCli Exch peer CLI command to configure the peer backup server
as described in
“HpRmCli Exch peer (For Exchange 2007)” (page 79) . To display
the current configuration, use the HpRmCli Exch peer display CLI command.
Configuring the Provider
You must use the provider's ProvCfg.exe utility to configure the provider to use the HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage System connecting to both the backup and Exchange production server. Use
ProvCfg.exe
to register additional storage systems. For more information, see the user guide of
the provider.
•
If your DAG configuration (or CCR configuration for Exchange 2007) has one HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage System, add only that HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System.
•
If your DAG configuration (or CCR configuration for Exchange 2007) has two HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage Systems at one site, add both HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Systems to your
backup server.
•
If your configuration has two HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Systems at two sites, add one HP
3PAR StoreServ Storage System to each backup server.
For configuring HP Data Protector appropriate configuration diagrams, see “Backup Configurations
” (page 15) .
Grouping Volumes into Autonomic Groups
You can group virtual volumes into autonomic groups (domain sets, volume sets, or host sets).
Domain Sets
If your Exchange configuration involves multiple mailbox databases (or storage groups for Exchange
2007) that belong to different HP 3PAR Virtual Domains, you can use domain sets to group these
virtual domains into one HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System domain set. This configuration enables
you to use just one Recovery Manager backup server to manage all your mailbox databases/storage
groups.
When working with domain sets, keep in mind the following:
•
All hosts, users, and virtual volumes must belong to the same virtual domain.
•
To create a Remote Copy group for a virtual volume that is in a user-defined domain, the
target virtual volume must be in the same user-defined domain.
To configure domain sets, use CLI commands:
1.
Ensure you are running HP 3PAR Operating System Software 2.3.1 or later.
2. Ensure you have access to all domains.
3. Create a domain set that contains all the virtual domains for all the mailbox databases/storage
groups.
4. Move the backup server to a domain within the domain set.
5. Create a Command Provisioning Group (CPG) belonging to the new virtual domain.
