Modifying Domain Credentials

1.

Right-click the MS Exchange node and select Modify Domain.

In the Modify Domain dialog box, enter the new server name, Windows domain and username,
or password.

Unregistering a Domain

1.

for Exchange components.

Right-click the MS Exchange node and select Unregister Domain.

In the Unregister Domain dialog box, enter the server name you are removing from the Recovery
Manager configuration.

Working in Multiple Domains

To use the GUI to manage Recovery Manager operations on storage groups and Windows hosts
in nonlocal domains, use the same GUI procedures as you do for storage groups and Windows
hosts in the local domain.

Registering the Server

Before the GUI can manage Exchange servers, you must register all the servers.

To register a server:
1.

Right-click the server node and select Server Registration .

2.

Select a server that is managed by the Recovery Manager for Exchange GUI.

3.

Click OK.

Recovery Manager takes a few minutes to scan all Exchange servers, and then it updates the
node tree. This process might take longer the first time you register servers.

Updating Server Registration

When you create a new instance or storage group after server registration is complete, you must
rescan the server configuration before Recovery Manager can manage the server.

To rescan the servers, right-click the MS Exchange node and select Rescan Server Configuration.

Setting the Recovery Manager Policy Configuration

Recovery Manager applies policy settings at the storage group level; therefore, each storage group
can have its own policy. In addition, you can configure individual virtual copies with their own
policy settings.

How Recovery Manager Policies Work

The Recovery Manager policy-setting feature allows you to:

Specify and configure either a numeric-based or expiration-based policy

Specify a retention time during which the storage group and its virtual copies cannot be
removed (if you have an HP 3PAR Virtual Lock license)
