Figure 3 Single Host Backup Configuration

Multiple Host Backup Configuration (For Exchange 2010/ Exchange 2013)

HP recommends that you use a separate HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for Exchange backup server
for the mailbox databases/storage groups on each HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System and that
you execute commands from each HP 3PAR Recovery Manager backup server for each HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage System. For example, if the Exchange configuration involves two systems, System1
and System2, you must use two backup servers and execute HP 3PAR Recovery Manager commands
for System1 from Backup Server 1, and execute commands for System2 from Backup Server 2. If
you have one HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System, you need just one Recovery Manager backup
server, and the -vs parameter is the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager server used for verification.

Backup Configurations

(For Exchange 2010/ Exchange 2013) If your Exchange 2010 or 2013 configuration uses
Database Availability Groups (DAG), which replicates mailbox databases across multiple HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage Systems, HP recommends that you use a master HP 3PAR Recovery Manager
backup server and use the other HP 3PAR Recovery Manager backup servers as verification servers
(designated with the -vs parameter). Under this configuration, the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager
for Exchange repository is centralized, and managed from one server.

NOTE:

In this configuration, each verification server must have the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager

Backup Server installed to perform backups to media.

(For Exchange 2007) CCR configurations can be implemented at a single site or span multiple
sites. When implemented at a single site, a single backup server is utilized. For implementations
that span multiple sites, two backup servers are required. The command HpRmCli Exch peer
is used to specify the name of the peer backup server for multiple sites. This command must be run
in CCR configurations using two backup servers and is not required for CCR configurations using
only one backup server. See

“Configuring HP 3PAR Recovery Manager” (page 27)

When implemented at a single site, you can use a single backup server, as shown in

Figure 4

(page 16)

and

Figure 5 (page 16)

. For implementations that span multiple sites, you must use one

backup server per site, as shown in

Figure 6 (page 17)
