1 Transitioning from FRS to Application Recovery Manager Overview This document provides you with guidance and a procedure for transitioning from HP StorageWorks Fast Recovery Solution (FRS) to HP Application Recovery Manager software. HP has performed coexistence testing of FRS and Application Recovery Manager, using default program locations and settings, and concluded the following: 1.
would be a point in time when one less backup is available, there is some risk associated with the transition. • If there is sufficient available capacity for an extra backup set, the deletion of existing backups is not necessary; hence there is no additional risk associated with the transition. One time or phased implementation Since the two products have been proven to coexist, no additional hardware is required to have both systems operational simultaneously.
4. Install and configure HP Application Recovery Manager software according to the HP Application Recovery Manager software installation and licensing guide. 5. Start creating backups for the server(s) formerly being serviced by FRS. See the HP Application Recovery Manager software administrator’s guide. 6.
