Application workload protection requirements
Application Manager 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.
Note:
Storage Mirroring Recover Application Manager should be run on a machine
that is not a domain controller. HP recommends that you run Application
Manager from either a third "administrative" client that is running a supported
operating system or from the Storage Mirroring Recover 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
The source and target servers must meet the base Storage Mirroring Recover
requirements. In addition, in order to run the Application Manager, your source and target
servers must meet the following requirements:
● 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
● Microsoft Windows Vista
● Microsoft Windows 2008
Note:
● Windows 2008 Server Core installation option is not supported.
● Microsoft Windows 2008 can only be used with the following application
versions:
● Exchange 2007
● SQL 2005 and SQL 2008
● File Server
● SharePoint
● If you select a clustered source or target server and the machine running
the Application Manager does not have the Failover Clustering feature
(Windows 2008) or the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack
