Remote verification is performed using the same mechanisms that are used for local verification, except that the verification is performed on a host that is different from the Exchange server that initiated the backup set. To run remote verification, your remote system must meet some configuration requirements.
- SnapDrive must be installed.
Note: Do not try to connect the Exchange server’s LUNs to the remote verification server.
- SnapManager must be installed, but it does not need to be configured.
You must specify the user account that you use for the production Exchange server.
- The appropriate LUN driver (iSCSI or FC protocol) must be installed.
- The remote Windows system must have connectivity (iSCSI or FC protocol) to the storage system.
Note: If you are using iSCSI to connect to the storage system on the remote verification server, you must create an iSCSI connection.
- Exchange System Management Tools must be installed on the server (whether remote or local) for SnapManager to perform integrity verification.
For more information about the installation of Exchange System Management Tools, see Microsoft documentation.
The connectivity required to perform remote verification is shown in the following illustration.
