Sybase Database in a SAN Environment Using EVA Snapclone Technology (August 2007)

Note:

The operating system on the clone and the operating system in the production environment

must be the same. For example, the clone of the production database that is running on HP-

UX cannot run on Solaris.

The cloning process must be carried out only when the traffic to the production environment

is at its minimum. Hence, database administrators must schedule cloning and backup

operations carefully.

Test refers to the cloned database.
