How FPE is installed on an SCR Exchange server system depends on the configuration of your source (data center) installation.

  • If the source system is configured as a standalone server, there are no additional special procedures.

  • If the source system is configured as CCR, follow the instructions in About CCR systems.

  • If the source system is configured as SCC, follow the instructions in About SCC systems.

  • If the source system is configured as DAG, there are no additional special procedures.

FPE should only be installed on the source system, not the target system (because, by their nature, all target nodes are passive). If the source system fails over to the target system, the original target becomes the new source, which is now online (the original source, which had failed, is now offline). Install FPE on the new source system and uninstall it from the failed-over system.

Note

The FPE settings are not replicated from the source server to the target server. After a failover has occurred, FPE must be installed on the target server and configured with the same settings as on the original source server.
