Storage Mirroring Replicate
requirements
Each Storage Mirroring Replicate server must meet minimum requirements. Additionally,
the machine where you will be running the Storage Mirroring Replicate console must
also meet some basic requirements.
l Source server—This is the server that contains the data you will be protecting.
Verify your server meets the source server requirements.
l Repository server—This is the server that will be protecting your source server(s).
Verify your server meets the repository server requirements.
l Recovery server—This is the server that will become your new source when you
are recovering an entire server. This server can be an existing physical or virtual
machine or Storage Mirroring Replicate can provision (automatically create) a
virtual machine for you during the recovery process. Verify your server meets the
recovery server requirements.
l TimeData—The TimeData feature can be run on your repository server and has
additional minimum requirements for the repository server. TimeData records every
change made to the source image(s) on the repository server allowing you to
recover from any point within theTimeData window. Verify your server meets the
repository server and TimeData requirements.
l OntrackPowerControls—The Ontrack PowerControls feature can be run on your
repository server and has additional minimum requirements for the repository
server. Ontrack PowerControls allows you to recover Microsoft Exchange
messages, folders, attachments, mailboxes, and so on to an Exchange server or a
.pstfile. Verify your server meets the repository server and Ontrack PowerControls
requirements.
l Cargo—Cargo can be run on your source(s) and repository server. Cargo archives
old files on the source to the repository server, thus reducing the amount of disk
space used on the source. Verify your servers meets the source server, repository
server, and Cargo requirements.
l Atom—The Atom feature can be run on your repository server without any
additional requirements. Atom provides the ability to deduplicate protected data on
the repository server. Deduplication is the process of finding duplicate instances of
data within a data set and storing that data only once to reduce storage
consumption. Verify your server meets the repository server requirements.
l Console—The Storage Mirroring Replicate Console is used to manage your
Storage Mirroring Replicate servers. Verify the machine where you are running the
console meets the console requirements.
