Installation

Before installing Full-Server Failover, verify that your source and

target meet the system requirements. Then proceed with Installing

or upgrading Full-Server Failover on page 2-3.

System requirements

Each server that will be used as a Full-Server Failover source or target should meet the following

system requirements.

 Operating System and Licensing—There are different Storage Mirroring licenses depending on

the operating system you are using. Be sure you have the correct license for your operating

system. Each of the Windows 2003 operating systems listed in the chart require Service Pack 1

or later.

 File System—Storage Mirroring supports the same file system formats that Microsoft supports:

FAT, FAT32, and NTFS.

NOTE: These requirements are high-level requirements that each server must meet to run the

Full-Server Failover program. A target server may meet these requirements but may not

be suitable to stand-in for a source in the event of a source failure. See Finding a

Compatible Target on page 4-1 for additional information regarding an appropriate

target server for your source.
