4 Introduction
Requirements
The Storage Mirroring 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 Storage Mirroring Application Manager requires the following minimum system configuration:
• Two servers that meet one of the following operating system requirements:
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later
• Microsoft Windows 2003
NOTE: In order to use the Target Data Verification feature (available only for Exchange), the target
must be running Windows 2003 server, Service Pack 1 or later.
• Two licensed copies of Storage Mirroring version 4.4.2 or later
NOTE: In order to protect a file server, you must be running Storage Mirroring version 4.5.2 or later.
• A copy of the most recent version of the Storage Mirroring Application Manager
NOTE: Hewlett-Packard recommends that you run Storage Mirroring Application Manager from
either a third “administrative” client that is running a supported operating system, or from the Storage
Mirroring target.
If you are using a 64-bit machine, you must install the 64-bit version of .NET Framework version 2.0 or
later prior to installing the Storage Mirroring Application Manager.
See the Hewlett-Packard support website to obtain the most recent version of the Storage Mirroring
Application Manager.
• .NET Framework version 2.0 or later. If you do not have .NET Framework version 2.0 installed, Application
Manager will prompt you to install it
• Microsoft Installer version 3.0 or later (as required by the .NET Framework version 2.0)
• An active internet connection (required during the Storage Mirroring Application Manager installation to
download the Microsoft Admin Pack and/or SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility components
containing the SQLDMO libraries)
NOTE: Alternatively, these packages are available on the Hewlett-Packard support website and can
be downloaded to a different server, from which you can use an internal file share or removable media
to copy the files to the Application Manager client.
