Administrator Guide

• Verification Server Service Port: Enter the service port for communications between Replay

Manager and the Replay Manager Verification Service. Unless a conflict 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

Verification Service host. If no range is specified, Replay Manager uses all available LUNs;

Windows allows an upper limit of 254 LUNs.

• Storage Center Server Definition: Select the Verification 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 appears with Verification 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 clusters and storage, see: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/

library/hh831579.aspx

NOTE: For upgrading Replay Manager on servers in a Windows Server 2008 cluster, Replay Manager

can be upgraded (or uninstalled) on a node only when the Distributed Transaction Coordinator

(DTC) Service is active on the node. For a first-time installation of Replay Manager, the DTC need

not be active on the node during installation.

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 part of the local admin 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.

• If updating Replay Manager Services, first shut down Replay Manager Services on all the nodes in the

cluster and then update the nodes one-by-one.

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.
