Protecting an Exchange Server

NOTE:

In a cluster environment, make sure to include a “cushion” to account for the time it takes for the

cluster to failover.

Monitor Interval (sec)

(Default = 5)

How often the monitor checks the source machine availability.

Missed Packets (sec)

(Default = 5)

How many monitor replies can be missed before assuming the source

machine has failed.

Failover trigger

If you are monitoring multiple IP addresses, select one of the failover trigger options:

All Monitored IP Addresses Fail

—Failover begins when all monitored IP addresses fail.

One Monitored IP Address Fails

—Failover begins when any of the monitored IP addresses fail.

Manual intervention required

(Default = selected)

Manual intervention allows you to control when failover occurs. When a failure occurs, a

prompt appears and waits for you to initiate the failover process manually.
Disable

Manual Intervention Required

only if you want failover to occur immediately when a failure condition is

met.

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.
