Storage Mirroring Groups
Storage Mirroring requires two local groups on each source and target for security. During the installation process, these
groups are automatically created. The groups are assigned specific case-sensitive names:
Storage Mirroring Admin
Storage Mirroring Monitors
The local administrator and the domain administrator are automatically added to the
Storage Mirroring Admin group.
Adding users to a group
Users that need administrator access to Storage Mirroring must be added to the Storage Mirroring Admin group. All users
that need monitor only access must be added to the
Storage Mirroring Monitor group. In both cases, local users, domain
users, or global groups may be added to the local groups.
To add, delete, or modify users for a group, follow these steps:
1. Select Start, Programs, Administrative Tools (Common), and User Manager. (If you are on a domain controller, select
User Manager for Domains.)
2. Double-click the group to be modified or highlight it and select User, Properties.
3. To add local users, domain users, and/or global groups to the group, click Add.
4. Select the local user, domain user, and/or global group to be included in the Storage Mirroring group.
5. Click OK to return to the Local Group Properties dialog box.
6. Click OK to return to the User Manager.
7. Exit the User Manager.
NOTE: For a Windows 200x member server, if an Active Directory user is granted access to the Active Directory
Storage Mirroring Admin or Storage Mirroring Monitor groups, the user or domain group must also be
granted access to the local Storage Mirroring groups. If you are administering a Windows 200x domain
controller, the Active Directory group will provide sufficient access.
