1 Solution Overview Internet Information Server (IIS) is a standards-based Web and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server from Microsoft®. IIS is designed to operate on the Windows® network operating system and is an Internet standards-compliant HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) server that also includes FTP and several other valuable Web and FTP-related services. IIS permits the user to fully design, create, deploy, and manage Web sites of any size.
Using the Microsoft IIS migration tools This Microsoft IIS 6.0 Migration Tool automates several of the steps needed to move a Web site or application from IIS 6.0 to a clean installation of IIS 6.0 running on Windows Server 2003. The tool transfers configuration data, Web site content, and application settings to a new IIS 6.0 server. The Microsoft Web Deployment Tool (MS Deploy) automates several of the steps needed to migrate your Web server or Web site from an IIS 7.
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. 2. Install IIS on the source, if it is not already installed.

In the event of a source machine failure, your target machine is now ready to stand in for your source. For more information about monitoring failover, see the Storage Mirroring User’s . Restoring your IIS data If your source experiences a failure, such as a power, network, or disk failure, your target machine will stand in for the source while you resolve the source machine issues.
NOTE: You can also run the Storage Mirroring automated restoration script, which can be found in the HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring User•s Guide, to complete the remaining steps in this section. 11. Complete the appropriate fields as described below. • Original Source—The name of the source machine where the data originally resided. • Restore From—The name of the target machine that contains the replicated data. • Replication Set—The name of the replication set to be restored.
