HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Diagnostics Tool for Exchange User Guide (QL226-97049, February 2014)

2 System requirements for installation
Hardware requirements
The RMD tool has no specific hardware requirements for installation, except for the hardware
requirements for RME installation.
Software requirements
RME must be installed and running on the backup and production servers. The RMD tool must be
installed on the RME backup server. The RMD tool can diagnose only the backup and production
servers managed by the backup server. If multiple RME backup servers are available, then the
RMD tool must be installed on each backup server to perform diagnosis on that particular RME
environment.
The RMD tool uses WMI to perform checks on the backup server, therefore you must set the required
firewall exception for WMI. For more information about configuring and setting exceptions for
WMI, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/.
In the MSDN website, navigate to the library, and search for the following:
• Securing a Remote WMI Connection
• Connecting through Windows Firewall
