● Disk Usage—The amount of disk space required for the Storage Mirroring
Recover program files is approximately 70 MB. You will need to verify that you
have additional disk space for Storage Mirroring Recover queuing, logging, and so
on. Additionally, on a target server, you need sufficient disk space to store the
replicated data from all connected sources, allowing additional space for growth.
Note:
The program files can be installed to any volume while the Microsoft
Windows Installer files are automatically installed to the operating system
boot volume.
● Server Name—Storage Mirroring Recover includes Unicode file system support,
but your server name muststill be in ASCII format. If you have the need to use a
server's fully-qualified domain name, your server cannot start with a numeric
character because that will be interpreted as an IP address.
● Microsoft .NET—Storage Mirroring Recover requires the Microsoft .NET
Framework version 3.5 Service Pack 1. You can install this version from the
Storage Mirroring Recover CD, via a web connection during the Storage Mirroring
Recover installation, or from a copy you have obtained manually from the Microsoft
web site.
● Protocols and Networking—Your servers must meet the following protocol and
networking requirements.
● Your servers must have TCP/IP with static IP addressing.
● By default, Storage Mirroring Recover is configured for IPv6 and IPv4
environments, but the Storage Mirroring service will automatically check the
server at service startup and modify the appropriate setting if the server is
only configured for IPv4.
● IPv6 is only supported for Windows 2008 servers.
● If you are using IPv6 on your servers, your clients must be run from an IPv6
capable machine.
● In order to properly resolve IPv6 addresses to a hostname, a reverse lookup
entry should be made in DNS.
