Protecting a SharePoint Server

You may enter a user name for a different domain by entering a fully-qualified user name. The fully-qualified

user name must be in the format

NetBIOS domain name\username

or

username

. If you enter a non-qualified

name, the default domain will be used.

Select SharePoint front end

Enter the name of the server that functions as the SharePoint front end, then click

Get Config

to load that server’s

configuration information into the Application Manager. The source server will be detected and added to the

Source Server field.

Select source and target servers

If this is your first time to select a SharePoint server to protect, you may need to click the

Advanced Find

button

to add servers to the Source Server and Target Server fields. For more information, see ”

Add or manage

servers

” on page 73.

If you select a source/target pair for which you have previously enabled and disabled protection, you may use

the existing configuration settings (provided that the source/target connection is not currently active, in which

case the existing settings will always be used). When you select

Configure

or

Validate

, a prompt will appear,

asking if you want to re-use the previous configuration information. Click

Yes

to re-use the previous

information, or click

No

to revert to the Application Manager default settings.

NOTE:

If the IP address(es) for the source or target server have changed since you originally configured

protection (for example, if you configure the source or target in a staging area and then send it to a production

location), you must re-configure the protection settings. When you are prompted to re-use the previous

protection configuration, click

No

, then click the

Configure Protection

button.

1.

In the

Source Server

field, select the SharePoint server that you want to protect. If this is your first time to log

in to the selected server, you will be prompted to enter server login information. For more information about

logging in to servers, see ”

Enter server login information

” on page 73.

NOTE:

If you attempt to select a source that is currently unavailable, a prompt will appear stating that

the source is not available and that if the source is failed over, you should first select the target.

If you select the target, then select the source (as recommended in the prompt), the same prompt

appears (though you would expect to get a prompt to failover). The ability to failover using the

Application Manager will not be available until a failover condition has been met in accordance with

the failover monitor settings set in the configuration section.

2.

In the

Target Server

field, select the backup SharePoint server that will protect the source server in the event

of a failure.

Notice that after the source and target servers are selected, the Protection Status on the Monitor tab changes to

“Unprotected”.
