Configuring Mount Functionality

The Windows automount feature is not compatible with Recovery Manager. To ensure that the
Windows automount feature is disabled:
1.

Open a command prompt (cmd) window.

2.

Enter: diskpart

3.

At the DISKPART prompt, enter: automount disable

4.

Exit the command prompt window.

Configuring Recovery Manager for CCR

Recovery Manager for Exchange supports CCR.

If your CCR configuration uses a single HP 3PAR Storage System, you can rely on a single
backup server. You do not need to perform any additional configuration steps.

If your CCR configuration spans two HP 3PAR Storage Systems:

You require two backup servers: one connected to each HP 3PAR Storage System. One
backup server acts as the backup server managed CCR active node, and the other acts

as the peer backup server managed CCR passive node. Both backup servers can execute
Recovery Manager CLI commands.

You must use the RMExch peer CLI command to configure the peer backup server as
described in

“RMExch peer” (page 65)

.

To display the current configuration, use the RMExch peer display CLI command.

Configuring the Provider

You must use the provider's ProvCfg.exe utility to configure the provider to use the HP 3PAR
Storage System to which each backup server and Exchange production server connects. For more
information, see the provider's user guide.

If your CCR configuration has one HP 3PAR Storage System, add only that one HP 3PAR
Storage System.

If your CCR configuration has two HP 3PAR Storage Systems at one site, add both HP 3PAR
Storage Systems to your backup server.

If your configuration has two HP 3PAR Storage Systems at two sites, add one HP 3PAR Storage
System to each backup server.

For the appropriate configuration diagrams, see

“CCR Backup Configuration” (page 15)

.

Grouping Volumes into Autonomic Groups

You can group virtual volumes into autonomic groups (domain sets, volume sets, or host sets).

Domain Sets

If your Exchange configuration involves multiple storage groups that belong to different HP 3PAR
Virtual Domains, you can use domain sets to group these virtual domains into one HP 3PAR Storage
System domain set. This configuration enables you to use just one Recovery Manager backup
server to manage all your storage groups.

When working with domain sets, keep in mind the following:

All hosts, users, and virtual volumes must belong to the same virtual domain.

To mount a virtual copy or media backup to a server that is in a different virtual domain than
the domain in which it was created, you must use the CLI command RMExch mount -h.

To create a Remote Copy group for a virtual volume that is in a user-defined domain, the
target virtual volume must be in the same user-defined domain.
