Protecting an Exchange Server

NOTE:

If you select a target that is monitoring a connection that has met a failover condition and requires

manual intervention, a prompt will appear, asking if you want to initiate failover.

Enter server login information

After you select a server for the first time, you will be prompted to enter a user name and password to use for

logging in to the selected server. The login account

MUST

be a member of the Double-Take Admin local

security group for the selected server. For more information about permissions, see ”

Recommended

Credentials

” on page 101.

You may enter a user name for a different domain by entering a fully-qualified user name. The fully-qualified

user name must be in the format

domain\username

or

username@domain

. If you enter a non-qualified name, the

DNS domain will be used. Entering the credentials for the logged-on user may be valid.
The Application Manager will attempt to use the same user name and password the next time you select a

server.

Using clustered Exchange servers

Exchange virtual servers (EVS) are selectable in the same way as physical servers; however, physical servers

that are members of a cluster (called a “node”) are not shown in the server drop-down list. These nodes are

selectable by selecting the source’s like-named equivalent. For more information about setting up protection for

a cluster with a like-named cluster, see ”

Protecting an Exchange Cluster with a Like-Named Cluster

” on

page 31.

NOTE:

Cluster protection is not supported in Storage Mirroring Application Manager for Exchange 2000.

Configure protection settings

If you do not need to change the configuration settings, continue with

Validate the Configuration

” on

page 87.
If you have already enabled protection for a connection and need to change the configuration parameters,

you will first need to disable protection, as described in

Disable protection

” on page 90.

To change the default configuration parameters, click

Configure

from the main Application Manager window,

or select

Actions, Configure Protection

from the menu. The Configuration Protection window will appear.

The Configure Protection window has tabs for configuring failover, connection, and advanced settings. The

following sections describe the options on each of these tabs.
