HP Data Protector 6.2 software integration with HP 3PAR Storage System

34
integration for backup of Exchange 2010 has been introduced. However, this integration is based on
the Data Protector MS Volume Shadow Copy Service Integration. It is highly recommended to use this
integration for backup of Exchange 2010. To use this integration, you are required to install Data
Protector’s MS Exchange Server 2010 Integration on all Exchange 2010 servers (see
Figure 7). In
addition, MS Volume Shadow Copy Integration has to be installed on all these servers. If the backup
server is not part of the Exchange setup, it is required to have MS Volume Shadow Copy Integration
installed on that server.
If Exchange 2010 DAG is configured, the DAG’s Virtual IP address needs to be imported into the
Data Protector Clients list. When importing the virtual IP address, make sure that the type of the client
that is going to be imported is set to Virtual Host (see
Figure 30). This address must be used for each
backup specification that will be created to backup any of the databases that are part of that DAG.
Figure 30: Import Database Availability Group’s Virtual IP address
The Microsoft Exchange 2010 setup that has been used for the white paper consists of three servers:
tpc200, tpc201, and tpc202. Database Availability Group has been configured on all these three
servers with the virtual IP address: 3par-dag. There is one database configured that is part of this
DAG with the name 3PAD-DB1 (see
Figure 31). Database data is stored on one disk and database
logs on the second disk. The database is replicated on two other servers with the same disk layout.
They are mounted on the same mount point on all three servers. Disks that are used for the database
and log files are all provisioned from the 3PAR Storage System.
