HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Microsoft Exchange Licenses - Manual (Page 25)

Domain Sets
If your Exchange configuration involves multiple mailbox databases 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 mailbox databases.
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.
To configure domain sets, use CLI commands:
1.
Ensure you are running HP 3PAR InForm Operating System Software 2.3.1 or higher.
2. Ensure you have access to all domains.
3. Create a domain set that contains all the virtual domains for all the mailbox databases.
4. Move the backup server to a domain within the domain set.
5. Create a Command Provisioning Group (CPG) belonging to the new virtual domain.
6. Create a virtual volume belonging to the CPG you just created.
7. Create a host belonging to the virtual domain.
8. Export the VLUN to the host.
9. On the Recovery Manager backup and production servers, set the user for the VSS provider.
10. Ensure the HP 3PAR Storage System connection is good.
NOTE: For more information on HP 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI) commands, see the
HP 3PAR InForm OS Command Line Interface Reference. For more information on HP 3PAR
VSS Provider Software, see the HP 3PAR VSS Provider Software for Microsoft Windows User’s
Guide.
Volume Sets
To configure volume sets:
•
In a volume set, place one mailbox database and its log files.
•
Do not place one volume in more than one volume set.
•
Do not place unrelated volumes in a volume set.
Host Sets
You can configure your system with host sets and volume sets, or with host sets only.
Configuring Multiple Domains
Multiple domain configurations allow you to use one backup server for multiple Active Directory
domains. You can use a multiple-domain setup with any Recovery Manager for Exchange 2010
configuration.
All multiple domain configurations must follow these rules:
•
All backup components (for example, the backup server, the backup software client, and the
Remote Copy target server) must be in the local domain.
•
The production servers and the Windows hosts enabled for mounting virtual copies can be in
any domain; local or nonlocal.
