Operating systems on application and backup systems do not need to be identical. However, they must be either
HP-UX (PA-RISC) on both or Windows on both.
The EMC Symmetrix integrated cached disk array system (ICDA) must run Enterprise Backup Solutions Enabler from
EMC. The following is a list of Supported versions:
1. HP-UX (PA-RISC) & HP-UX (Itanium) : Version 5.5 or newer.
2. Windows : Version 5.3 or newer.
All versions of TimeFinder and/or SRDF and microcode supported by the above versions of the EMC software are
supported. New versions of the microcode or the Enterprise Backup Solution Enabler software will be tested and
certified if needed.
In addition, EMC DMX arrays are supported.
For the following matrices, only those combinations of applications and operating systems are supported that are
supported by the respective vendors.

1
BCV mirror is created inside one ICDA. BCV mirror is being backed up on the application system. (there is no backup system.)
2
BCV mirror is created inside one ICDA. Application system is connected to the original disk. Backup system is connected to the
BCV.
3
Two ICDAs are connected with SRDF links. Application system is connected to the primary ICDA (R1 disk). Backup system is
connected to secondary ICDA (R2 disk).
4
Two ICDAs (R1 and R2) are connected with SRDF links. Application system is connected to the R1 disk. Backup system is
connected to the BCV mirror of the R2 disk.
5
The appropriate disk image is backed up. It is responsibility of the user to shut down the application and unmount the file
system.
6
Same as note 5 (disk image), except that it is more convenient to specify and Data Protector unmounts the file system on the
application system before the split.
7
The directory needs to have a special name: _bcv.
8
During the split, the database is shut down on the application system and backed up on the backup system.
9
During the split, the database is put into hot mode on the application system and backed up on the backup system. Archive logs
are backed up in the standard way on the application system.
