Protecting a SharePoint Server
Connection settings
The Connection tab includes options that will be applied to the specified source/target connection.
Route
This setting identifies the
Target IP Address
that the Storage Mirroring data will be transmitted through. You
should only change this setting if you want to select a different route for Storage Mirroring traffic. On a
machine with more than one NIC, this increases the flexibility of configuring Storage Mirroring activity. For
example, you can separate regular network traffic and Storage Mirroring traffic on a machine. The default
ports will be used.
Protected databases
By default, all of the SharePoint program and data files (except the
\binn
directory) are selected for replication
to the target SharePoint server. This will allow the clients to access your production SharePoint Server data and
functionality on the target in the event of a failure.
The source and target servers both have the
exact
same version of SharePoint (major and minor versions) as
well as similar logical drive structures (the target must have at least the same logical drives as the source where
SharePoint program and data files are stored).
NOTE:
If you using a SQL server named instance for a back-end database server in your SharePoint setup,
both the source and target SQL servers must have named instances with the
exact
same name installed
prior
to
configuring protection.
To enable the ability to add or remove SharePoint instances, you can launch Storage Mirroring Application
Manager through the command line using the
/advanced
option (
DTAM /advanced
). With this option
enabled, a dialog box will appear when you select Configure Protection.
You can also select non-application specific data under the Volumes folder.
