Managing Replication and High Availability Scenarios › Create SharePoint Server Scenarios

Create SharePoint Server Scenarios

Creating scenarios is covered in full detail in the CA ARCserve RHA Administration Guide. This section provides additional information specific to creating a Microsoft SharePoint Server scenario. The Scenario Creation Wizard guides you through the steps required to create a high availability scenario. When completed, you should run your scenario to start data synchronization. Synchronization could take a while, depending on database size and network bandwidth. After synchronization completes, your high availability scenario now maintains the Replica server so that it can take over for the Master the moment a failure is detected.

Notes:

• When the CA ARCserve RHA Engine is installed in a SharePoint environment that is joined to a SharePoint farm, the installation process installs CA ARCserve RHA SharePoint COM+ and registers the corresponding service, CAARCserveRHASPSCOMApp, for all SharePoint Scenarios. When you uninstall the CA ARCserve RHA Engine, the uninstallation process uninstalls and unregisters the corresponding components.
• On Windows Server 2008 systems, the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) service may prevent the SharePoint COM+ application from starting properly. This may prevent SharePoint HA scenarios from performing critical operations. For example, database Auto-Discovery, Run this scenario, Assured Recovery (AR) testing, and so on. To remedy this problem, restart the server where the problem occurred (Master or Replica).
• For a high availability scenario, you must replicate the entire SharePoint Farm.
