System memory—There are different memory requirements depending on the
system architecture you are using. Be sure you have at least the minimum amount
of memory for your environment. You should consider having at least the
recommended amount of system memory.
Architecture Minimum System Memory Recommended System Memory
32-bit 128 MB At least 512 MB
64-bit 512 MB At least 1024 MB
●
Disk space for program files—This is the amount of disk space, approximately
130 MB, needed on the recovery server to hold the Storage Mirroring Replicate
program files.
●
Disk space for data files—This is the amount of disk space on the recovery
server to hold all of the source data files. This will be dependent on the
applications you are running and the amount of data files you have.
●
Disk space for system state image—This is the amount of disk space on the
recovery server to hold the image of the source system state. You should have at
least 5 GB of space on the recovery server for the system state. The more
applications you are running on the source, the larger the system state image will
be. Therefore, you may need additional space if you source has many
applications.
●
Disk types—Thin-provisioned virtual disks on VMware ESX are not supported
because they cannot be shared by two virtual machines simultaneously.
●
Server name—Storage Mirroring Replicate includes Unicode file system support,
but your server name must be in ASCII format.
●
Network protocols—Your servers must use TCP/IP with static IP addressing.
●
Microsoft .NET Framework—Version 3.5 Service Pack 1 is required on the
