HP Data Protector A.06.1x

Zero downtime backup and instant recovery support matrix

for HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array using SMI-S Agent

Version: 4.4 Date: August 2012

Main feature of HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) is the ability to create snapshots of data stored on

the disk arrays. These snapshots can be used to back up the data using a different server (backup system), and thus

reduce the backup load from the production server (application system), allowing the production applications to run

uninterrupted. The most important benefit of the snapshot integration is in backup window reduction, lowering the

load on the production server.

The details of the supported operating systems are specified in the individual tables below. The operating system, its

version and the hardware architecture must be same on both application and backup hosts.

Data Protector A.06.1x supports vsnap, snapclone, and standard snapshots available on EVA. Supported EVA

models are listed in the table below.

HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array runs Command View (CV) and Virtual Control Software (VCS or XCS) to

control the array. The XCS version support is driven by supported EVA model and CV version. Data Protector

supports all XCS versions for the EVAs which are supported by certified CV versions. Following CV versions are

tested and certified by Data Protector:

Command View (CV)

6.0.2, 7.0.x, 8.0.2, 9.0.x

, 9.1

, 9.2.1, 9.3, 9.4,10.0

For Linux support, minimum version of Command View required is CV 9.2.1.

Fully allocated snapshots are supported only if snapshot rotation is set to 1.

For installation of the patches DPWIN_00462/PHSS_40825/PHSS_40826/DPLNX_00121/DPSOL_00415 using CV 9.1
