For the initial setup, the Storage Mirroring Application Manager only needs to be installed on one system. For
managing failover and failback, the Application Manager should be run from either the target server or an
administrative workstation.
The Storage Mirroring Application Manager installation requires an active internet connection. This is
necessary in order to download the Microsoft Admin Pack and SQL server backward compatibility (SQLDMO)
files. In addition, if you do not have .NET Framework version 2.0 installed, you will be prompted to install it.
Microsoft Installer version 3.0 or later is required to install the .NET Framework.
NOTE:
Alternatively, these packages are available on the Hewlett-Packard support website and can be
downloaded to a different server, from which you can use an internal file share or removable media to copy
the files to the Application Manager client.
Start the Storage Mirroring Application Manager
Launch the Application Manager by selecting
Start, Programs, Storage Mirroring, Application Manager
