Replication set rules
A replication set defines what directories/files are to be protected by Storage Mirroring. By default,
Application Manager selects all of the necessary directories/files to protect Exchange based on your
source server configuration. These include all storage groups (system and log files), each database
store (mailbox and public folder system and log files), Message Transfer Agent (MTA) files, and SMTP
queues (pickup path and queuepath). By default, the Application Manager-generated replication set
will be named
xdag01_<source server name>_<target server name>
.
You should only modify the replication set rules if there are additional directories/files specific to your
configuration that must also be protected with Exchange. Modifying the default configuration for
replication set rules may affect whether data can be successfully replicated. Do not modify the
replication set unless you are very familiar with Storage Mirroring and Exchange.
To change the replication set rules:
1. Select the Override Generated Rules checkbox.
2. To add a replication set rule, click Add. The Add Repset Rule dialog box will appear.
3. In the Rule Path field, type the directory that you want to protect or exclude.
4. In the Include/Exclude area, select whether to include or exclude the path from the replication
set.
5. In the Recursive area, select whether the directory should be recursive (protecting all
sub-folders under the directory) or non-recursive (protecting only the files in the directory).
6. Click Add.
7. When you have entered all of your replication set rules, click Close to return to the Advanced
configuration tab.
8. To remove a rule, select one or more rules, then click Remove.
9. To reset the rules to the auto-generated rules and to re-enable the Protected Storage Groups
control, remove the selection from the Override Generated Rules checkbox.
NOTE: If you want to protect the Badmail folder, you will need to manually add it to the
replication set as described in this section.
NOTE: When this box is selected, the Protected Storage Groups control on the Connection
tab will be disabled. For more information, see Protected Storage Groups on
page 3-13.
NOTE: You will need to manually verify that the rule path is correct since the Application
Manager does not validate rule paths.
NOTE: Removing rules that were automatically added by Application Manager could impact
the success of failover. Any changes to rules should be thoroughly tested.
