Administrator Guide
For general guidelines on Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 clusters and storage, see: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-

Follow these guidelines to install and configure 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 Verification Service for Microsoft Exchange, install the Verification Service on a machine outside the cluster.
• When updating Replay Manager Services, first 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.
Configure an HTTP Proxy Service
Replay Manager uses HTTP channels for inter-process communication.
If the Replay Manager host server is configured 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, configure the Proxy server using the Bypass proxy server for local addresses option.
1. On the server running Replay Manager Services, open Microsoft Internet Explorer.
2. Select Internet Options from the Tools menu.
3. Click the Connections tab.
4. Click LAN settings.
The Local Area Network (LAN) Settings dialog box opens.
5. In the Proxy server area, select Use a proxy server for your LAN, and then select Bypass proxy server for local addresses.
6. Click OK to close the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings dialog box.
7. Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
