Protecting a SharePoint Server

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.

Protected databases

By default, all of the SharePoint program and data files (except the

\binn

directory) are selected for replication

to the target SharePoint server. This will allow the clients to access your production SharePoint Server data and

functionality on the target in the event of a failure.
The source and target servers both have the

exact

same version of SharePoint (major and minor versions) as

well as similar logical drive structures (the target must have at least the same logical drives as the source where

SharePoint program and data files are stored).

NOTE:

If you using a SQL server named instance for a back-end database server in your SharePoint setup,

both the source and target SQL servers must have named instances with the

exact

same name installed

prior

to

configuring protection.

To enable the ability to add or remove SharePoint instances, you can launch Storage Mirroring Application

Manager through the command line using the

/advanced

option (

DTAM /advanced

). With this option

enabled, a dialog box will appear when you select Configure Protection.

You can also select non-application specific data under the Volumes folder.
