File server requirements
If you are using the Storage Mirroring Application Manager for file servers, your system must meet the
following requirements:
•
Two licensed copies of Storage Mirroring version 4.5.2 or later
NOTE:
Hewlett-Packard
strongly recommends
that the target server be a dedicated standby server
which does not host any critical applications. During failback for file servers, the Server service is
re-started, which could also re-start any dependent services.
File server protection is currently only supported in a flat domain.
SharePoint requirements
If you are using the Storage Mirroring Application Manager for SharePoint, your system must meet the
following requirements:
•
Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) version 3
•
WSS components of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007
•
SQL Server 2000 or SQL Server 2005 back-end
NOTE:
SharePoint protection is currently only supported in a flat domain.

Application notes
While the Storage Mirroring Application Manager greatly simplifies the process of configuring your
application for use with Storage Mirroring, Hewlett-Packard recognizes that in some environments a manual
process for application configuration is more desirable. However, the manual process is much more time
consuming and labor intensive. Hewlett-Packard has application notes which provide guidelines on using
manual processes to configure your application with Storage Mirroring.
To obtain application notes for the manual process for Exchange configurations, you must contact
Hewlett-Packard technical support. Current contact information for technical support is available at

.
Application notes for using SQL are available for download from the Application Notes page of the
Hewlett-Packard support web site (
