9.2 How It Works
When users want to synchronize the data from the production site to secondary site, Recovery
Manager for Microsoft Exchange 2010 freezes the I/O at the application level, and then takes a
snapshot of the mailbox database and log volumes. Once the snapshot is taken, Remote Copy
performs a synchronization on the data changes to the target volumes at the secondary site.
After the synchronization is complete, the target server connected to the InServ at the
secondary site will create a virtual copy on the Remote Copy target volumes and then save the
information in its repository at the secondary site.
NOTE: The target server serves as the backup server at the secondary site. After
synchronization has completed, a virtual copy will be created and managed by
the target server at the secondary site.
NOTE: A virtual copy created on the primary site for Remote Copy purposes will
be removed after synchronization has completed.
NOTE: In order for the Recovery Manager GUI to manage virtual copies from the
remote target server, you must register the Mailbox Server using the exact server
name and instance name.
NOTE: In order for successful execution of Remote Copy operations, the InServs in
the Remote Copy setup must be configured to be the default InServs using 3PAR’s
hardware provider tool, provcfg.exe . Otherwise, Recovery Manager for
Exchange 2010 cannot locate the relevant Remote Copy groups, resulting in the
failure of Remote Copy operations.
