HP Application Recovery Manager software A.06.10 Administrator's guide (March 2008)

• Create pair relationships between both sets of LDEVs
Prerequisites on Windows systems
• Disable the operating system option Automatic mounting of new volumes. At
Command Prompt, run:
mountvol /N
• Do not manually mount target volumes that have been created by Application
Recovery Manager.
Limitations
• In a cluster environment, the backup system must not be in the same cluster with
the application system. The backup system also cannot be virtual server of a
cluster. It can only be a cluster node.
See the HP Application Recovery Manager software product announcements, software
notes, and references for information on:
• General Application Recovery Manager and integration-specific limitations
• Supported platforms and integrations
• Supported backup and connectivity topologies
For information on supported configurations, see the HP Application Recovery
Manager software concepts guide.
ZDB database - XPDB
ZDB database for XP integration is referred to as XPDB. It keeps information about:
• Split LDEV pairs. This information includes:
• Session ID of the ZDB session that involved the LDEV pair.
• LDEV, volume group, and filesystem configuration.
• CRC check information calculated during the session.
• Filesystem and volume management system information.
The information is written to XPDB when a pair is split, and is deleted from XPDB
when the pair is resynchronized (prior version of data is then overwritten).
Volume group configuration and CRC check information stored in XPDB is compared
to the volume group configuration and CRC check during an instant recovery session.
If these items do not match, instant recovery fails.
