Introduction

Arcserve Replication and High Availability (Arcserve RHA) is a solution based on asynchronous real-time replication and automated application switchover and switchback to provide cost-effective business continuity for virtualized environments on Windows servers.

Arcserve RHA lets you replicate data to a local or remote server, making it possible to recover that data due to server crash or site disaster. You may switch your users to the replica server manually, or automatically, if you licensed High Availability. This Guide presents both Replication and High Availability concepts and procedures.

The procedures covered in this Guide should be followed as is. Customize the steps only if:

You are familiar with Arcserve RHA and fully understand the potential impact of any changes you make.
You have fully tested the steps in a lab environment before implementing in a production environment.
