Guidelines for using Internet Information Server with HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring (T2558-96338, June 2009)

2 Sample Implementation
This section describes an example of how to configure Storage Mirroring and IIS. Use these procedures
as a guideline for creating your own implementation. Because no two environments or configurations
are exactly the same, you will probably need to implement additional or different steps than what is
documented here in order to make the solution work in your environment.
Install software on the source
1. Install IIS on the source, if it is not already installed.
2. Record the drive and directory where you installed IIS.
3. Install Storage Mirroring on the source machine using the installation defaults. See the HP Stor-
ageWorks Storage Mirroring Getting installation guide for details.
Install and configure software on the target
1. Remove the source machine from the network. This step will allow the target machine to use the
source's identity for this section.
2. Install IIS on the target using the same drive and directory specifications recorded in step 2 of
Install software on the source.
WARNING!
When prompted, do not reboot the target machine at this time.
3. Use the IIS 6.0 Migration Tool or Microsoft Web Deployment Tool (MS Deploy) to "migrate" the
IIS settings from the source to the target. The IIS migration tools and information about how to
use them are available from the Microsoft website. Alternately, you can manually configure all
web sites which are configured on the source. This includes IP address assignments, virtual dir-
ectories, security, etc.
NOTE:
• If any configuration changes are later made to the web sites on the source, the same config-
uration changes may need to be manually made on the target.
• There may be a delay before the websites are displayed (up to a few minutes).
4. Perform the post-migration tasks recommended by Microsoft. Be sure to copy any SSL certificates
present on the source machine to the IIS installation on the target.
5. Install Storage Mirroring on the target machine using the installations defaults. See the HP Stor-
ageWorks Storage Mirroring installation guide for more information.
