Global Mailbox management node

The Global Mailbox management node hosts the Global Mailbox administration user interface. At least one Global Mailbox management node must be available on a data center for an administrator to use the administration user interface.

In the Global Mailbox management node, administrators create users, assign user permissions, assign virtual roots, create mailboxes, and manage event rules. If no Global Mailbox management node is operational in a data center, administrators must log in to the user interface from another data center.

Use the Global Mailbox management node to complete the following functions:
  • Host the user interface for the Global Mailbox management tool for administrators to manage mailboxes, users, and events
  • Run the scheduler to manage scheduled jobs
  • Transport files between data centers for replication
  • Coordinate replication between data centers as a polling agent
