Important performance issues
Take steps to prevent these issues which can affect FRS performance:
• Excessive traffic on the Ethernet LAN.
• Viruses that slow down network traffic.
• A firewall that slows traffic between the servers hosting FRS and the
CV server. Any firewall must be open between these systems.
Important configuration notes
The following notes will help ensure a successful configuration:
• Production and recovery servers must be in the same Ethernet domain.
• Administrator privileges are required for all devices and software.
• No more than five databases per storage group and no more than four
storage groups per Exchange instance are supported.
• All databases within a storage group must reside on one LUN of the
HP disk array.
• The logs for each storage group must also reside on an HP disk array
LUN, and the logs and the checkpoint file must be on the same LUN.
• The LUN that the databases reside on and the LUN that the logs reside
on must NOT be the same LUN.
