Congure the Verication Service

After installing the Replay Manager Verication Service on the server, congure the Replay Manager to use the Verication Service for

backups and restores of Microsoft Exchange Servers.

1 Start the Replay Manager Explorer, and connect to the Exchange server for which you want to verify backup and restore operations.

2 Click Congure Server, and click the Exchange Verication tab.

3 Specify the following:

• Verication Server Host Name: Enter the host name or IP address of the server on which the Replay Manager Verication

Service is installed.

• Verication Server Service Port: Enter the service port for communications between Replay Manager and the Replay Manager

Verication Service. Unless a conict would result, use the default service port value of 29176.

• Lower LUN Limit and Upper LUN Limit: Enter a range of LUNs to use for mapping volumes to the Verication Service host. If no

range is specied, Replay Manager uses all available LUNs; Windows allows an upper limit of 254 LUNs.

• Storage Center Server Denition: Select the Verication Server Host Name for each Storage Center.

4 Click Test Server. Replay Manager attempts to locate and validate the host name. When successful, a green indicator button is

displayed with Verication server successfully tested.

5 Click Save.

Using Replay Manager Service on Clustered Servers

Although the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) is not a cluster-aware service, Replay Manager Service for Windows can be

used in a Windows clustered-server environment.

For general guidelines on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 clusters and storage, see: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831579.aspx

For general guidelines on Windows Server 2016 clusters and storage, see: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/

Follow these guidelines to install and congure Replay Manager on server nodes in a cluster:

• Run the Replay Manager Service using a domain user account that is a part of the local administrators group.

• Install a Replay Manager Service for Windows on each server node in the cluster.

• If using the Verication Service for Microsoft Exchange, install the Verication Service on a machine outside the cluster.

• When updating Replay Manager Services, rst stop the backup operations, shut down the Replay Manager Service on all nodes, then

update all the nodes in the cluster.

Non-transportable snapshots created on a node can be viewed and used only by the node on which the snapshot was created.

Transportable snapshots can be imported to any node.

NOTE

: Volume-based, non-transportable snapshots can be created using Replay Manager cmdlets only.

Congure an HTTP Proxy Service

Replay Manager uses HTTP channels for inter-process communication.

About this task

If the Replay Manager host server is congured with an HTTP proxy service, Replay Manager Explorer may issue the following error

message:

Connection failed to Replay Manager Service. Verify Replay Manager Service availability

To resolve the issue, congure the Proxy server using the Bypass proxy server for local addresses option.
