Enable Storage Group Copy operation

The Enable Storage Group Copy process enables Local Continuous Replication (LCR) for a storage group and Standby Continuous Replication (SCR) for a storage group, using Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

Important

The Enable Storage Group Copy operation is only supported on Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. For Microsoft Exchange Server versions 2010, 2013, and 2016 see the Database Availability Group Management operations.

Adapter request parameters for Enable Storage Group Copy process

Element

Definition

Required

<Identity>

Has the following values:

  • GUID
  • Name of storage group

Yes

<CopyLogFolderPath>

Used in a LCR environment to specify the path where the log files are stored

The default path is: <ExchangeInstallPath>\ LocalCopies\<SGName>. This parameter cannot be combined with the StandbyMachine parameter.

No

<CopySystemFolderPath>

Used in an LCR environment to specify the path where the storage group system files are stored

The default path is: <ExchangeInstallPath>\ LocalCopies\<SGName>. This parameter cannot be combined with the StandbyMachine parameter.

No

<DomainController>

Specifies the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the domain controller

The DomainController parameter should be included in the command.

No

<ReplayLagTime>

Specifies the time length, Microsoft Exchange Replication service should wait before replaying log files that have been copied to the SCR target computer

The format for this parameter is Days.Hours:Minutes:Seconds. The default setting for this value is 24 hours.

The maximum allowable setting for this value is 7 days. The minimum allowable setting is 0 seconds, although setting this value to 0 seconds effectively eliminates any delay in log replay activity beyond a default delay of 50 log files.

No

<SeedingPostponed>

Unseeds a task to the storage group copy

The administrator must then explicitly seed the storage group copy.

No

<StandbyMachine>

Specifies the name of a mailbox server that is configured as a target for SCR.

This parameter is used for creating an SCR target. It cannot be combined with the CopyLogFolderPath or the CopySystemFolderPath parameters.

No

<TruncationLagTime>

Specifies the time length that Microsoft Exchange Replication Service should wait before truncating log files that have been copied to the SCR target computer and replayed into the copy of the database

The time period begins after the log has been successfully replayed into the copy of a database.

The format for this parameter is Days.Hours:Minutes:Seconds. The maximum allowable setting for this value is 7 days. The minimum allowable setting is 0 seconds, although setting this value to 0 seconds effectively eliminates any delay in log truncation activity.
