HP Data Protector A.06.1x Zero downtime backup and instant recovery support matrix for HP StorageWorks Virtual Array

High-availability support for VA

With Data Protector, campus cluster is also supported with VA. There are two supported configurations for backup

and restore on VA using Data Protector A.06.1x in a high-availability environment. There is a limitation for high-

availability configurations for VA. Both the application system and the backup system cannot be in the same cluster.

Supported high-availability configurations are:

1. The application system is in the cluster – the backup continues on the backup system in case of a failover.

2. The backup system is in the cluster – the backup session cannot resume, but the configuration is saved in

case of a failover. The backup session has to be restarted in this case.

For details on supported versions of clustering software, please see HP Data Protector A.06.1x Platform and

integration support matrix.
