Optimizing Exchange 2013 DAG replication from main to dr datacenter

Hello Sagay-

 

The Deployment Guide for using BIG-IP v10.x with Microsoft Exchange 2010 has a detailed chapter on DAG configuration and optimization: http://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment-guides/f5-exchange-2010-dg.pdf

 

There are a few minor changes with v11 (and of course with Exchange Server 2013); I apologize for not having updated documentation at this time. However, I think that the chapter in the older version of the guide should get you most of the way to your desired configuration. Please give that a shot; in the meantime, I'll look at getting a newer version of that documentation posted in the near future.

 

If you post any difficulties you might run into in this thread, we'll try to get answers back to you ASAP.

 

Hi Dayne,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

We have followed the below document chapter relate to DAG

 

http://www.f5.com/pdf/deployment-guides/f5-exchange-2010-dg.pdf

 

but when we enable this DAG replication between servers his showing disconneted as below:

 

Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus

 

Name Status CopyQueue ReplayQueue LastInspectedLogTime ContentIndex Length Length State

 

Mailbox Database 1215557039\SCCHPMB01 Mounted 0 0 Healthy HO NORMAL USER DB1\SCCHPMB01 Disconnected... 0 106 10/29/2013 4:21:42 PM Suspended HO VIP USER DB1\SCCHPMB01 Disconnected... 0 97 10/29/2013 4:24:30 PM Suspended HP VIP USER DB1\SCCHPMB01 Disconnected... 0 71 10/29/2013 4:18:50 PM Healthy HP NORMAL USER DB1\SCCHPMB01 Disconnected... 0 12 10/29/2013 4:17:23 PM Suspended

 

Please support.

 

to ADD with above when the customized rule is enabled we identified the DAG replication is going to disconnected state and when we test "Test-ReplicationHealth" in Exchnage mailbox server we can find TCP Listener is failing.

 

TO ADD mode info about this config:

 

We have configured F5 WOM to optimize Exchange DAG replication using the given guide but when we enable the rule our DAG replication between two servers are disconnected.

 

We are using F5 WOM in bridging mode from HO to DR, Please advise whether bridging mode is recommended together with the configuration given in the guide or we have to configure WOM using Gateway mode.
