HP Application Recovery Manager software Integration guide (March 2008)

For Exchange Server 2007 writer specifics (prerequisites and limitations), see
“Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 recovery specifics” on page 66.
Limitations
• The number of replicas available for instant recovery is limited by Number of
replicas rotated, which sets the size of the replica set. You can view these replicas
in the Instant Recovery GUI context by expanding Restore Sessions. Replicas are
identified by the backup specification name and the session ID. Other information,
such as time when the replica was created, is also provided. Alternately, you can
use CLI to list sessions (for information about the omnidbvss command, see the
HP Application Recovery Manager software command line interface reference).
• Concurrent restores utilizing the same backup system or the same application
system are not supported. Restores utilizing the same backup system or the same
application system must be performed serially.
• For restore of Exchange Server 2007 writer data to a different location, the
Microsoft Virtual Disk Service restore options and the HP StorageWorks EVA
restore options are not available.
• For additional Exchange Server 2007 writer limitations, see
“Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 recovery specifics” on page 66.
Instant recovery procedure
Prerequisites
• For Exchange Server 2007, in case of CCR or LCR restore of the database copy,
mount (bring online) the target store. If you cannot mount the target store (for
example, if the files are missing or the database is corrupted), proceed as follows:
Using the Exchange Management Console, delete the files of the database you
wish to mount, then perform mount operation, and then confirm the message to
create an empty database.
• For Exchange Server 2003, manually dismount the databases to be recovered.
1. In the HP Application Recovery Manager software GUI, switch to the Instant
Recovery context.
