Limitations on disk array integrations
HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP limitations
• Only BC configurations are supported, CA configurations are not supported.
• With BC1 configurations, only filesystem, disk image, and Oracle backups are
supported.
• When restoring filesystems in an instant recovery session, no object other than

selected for the session.
• Routine maintenance, including (but not limited to) hot-swapping any field
replaceable components like, disk array controllers, FC switches, and/or online
firmware upgrades during backups are not supported. Backups are a high-IO
activity and should not be done at the same time as routine maintenance.
HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array limitations
• Only one type of target volume per source volume can exist on a disk array at
the same time. For example, a snapclone of a source volume cannot be created
if a vsnap or a standard snapshot of the same source volume already exists.
• A replica cannot be reused if any snapclone from this replica has a snapshot
attached or if a target volume from this replica is presented to some system than
backup system.
• Application Recovery Manager does not allow ZDB to use an instant recovery
object as a source volume.
• For instant recovery, only snapclones can be used.
• When cloning of a source volume is in progress, another snapclone of that source
volume cannot be created.
• Care must be taken when instant recovery is performed on objects located on
lower performance disks, as this may result in undesired performance penalties.
