HP 3PAR Recovery Manager allows for many types of configurations, depending on the setup.
Centralized Backup Configuration
A centralized backup configuration, shown in Figure 2 (page 14) , allows you to maximize resources
and performance of the mailbox servers (or Exchange servers for Exchange 2007) through off-host
central control management capabilities. A single HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Backup Server
installation can remotely create virtual copies on multiple mailbox servers (with a Recovery Manager
Agent installation) and manage all virtual copies on the backup server.
This type of configuration is recommended if you need to manage multiple mailbox servers or are
in a clustered environment.
Figure 2 Centralized Backup Configuration
NOTE: The Exchange System Management Tools is required on the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager
backup server for validation purposes. In addition, the mailbox servers (Exchange Servers for
Exchange 2007) and the Management Tools must be of exactly same version.
NOTE: All mailbox servers (or Exchange Servers for Exchange 2007), including the HP 3PAR
Recovery Manager backup server, must be in the same Windows domain (unless you have
configured HP 3PAR Recovery Manager to use multiple Active Directory domains).
Single Host Backup Configuration
A single host backup configuration, shown in Figure 3 (page 15) , allows you to manage virtual
copies locally on the Mailbox/Exchange Server.
