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.
