BlackBerry
The Application Manager can be used to configure Storage Mirroring to provide high availability for
BlackBerry Enterprise Server using a Microsoft SQL Server database back end. This allows a
secondary server to assume the identity and role of a failed server while maintaining the availability
of BlackBerry Enterprise Server and/or SQL Server services with minimal disruption or data loss.
Requirements
The Application Manager will run from any client (or server) on any Microsoft ® Windows ® operating
system that has access to the domain in which the servers are located.
The Application Manager requires the following minimum system configuration:

Two servers that meet one of the following operating system requirements:

Microsoft Windows 2003 with Service Pack 1 or later

Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or later


NOTE: Storage Mirroring Application Manager should be run on a machine that is not a domain
controller. Hewlett-Packard recommends that you run Application Manager from either a
third “administrative” client that is running a supported operating system or from the
Storage Mirroring target.
If you attempt to run Application Manager on a domain controller, the following errors
may occur:

Application Manager could not verify credentials when connecting to the server
x.x.x.x. Due to technical restrictions, credentials cannot be verified when used to
connect to a local machine.

GetWbemScope: Attempting connection to WBEM server (using specified
credentials): x.x.x.x: <domain>\<user>: root\microsoftdns
NOTE: Windows 2008 Server Core installation option is not supported.
