Prerequisites for configuring an LCR-enabled Exchange server

Before you use SnapManager to enable Local Continuous Replication (LCR) on Exchange, ensure that the Exchange server is LCR-enabled, the databases in the Storage Group are seeded, and that you put the database, transaction logs and replica database on a different volume from the LCR environment.

Ensure that you meet the following criteria before you enable the LCR feature on an Exchange server:

The Exchange server on which you want to perform SnapManager configuration is LCR enabled.
Use the Microsoft Exchange cmdlet or the Exchange Management Console to enable LCR on a Storage Group. SnapManager does not automatically enable LCR on a Storage Group if it is not enabled already.
The databases in the Storage Groups are seeded.
If the replica database in an LCR is not seeded or broken, SnapManager seeds it during migration.
In an LCR environment, you should put the database, transaction log files of the production database, and replica database on a different volume than that which contains the LCR relationship.
