Follow these guidelines to install and congure 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 Verication Service for Microsoft Exchange, install the Verication 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.
