HP Data Protector 6.20

Zero Downtime Backup and Instant Recovery Support Matrix

for HP P6000 EVA Disk Array Family Using SMI-S Agent

Version: 1.8 Date: August 2012

Main feature of HP P6000 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 6.20 supports vsnap, snapclone, standard snapshots and mirrorclone snapshots available on EVA.

Supported EVA models are listed in the table below.

Support for Mirrorclone snapshots is dependent on the EVA firmware. Please consult the EVA product documentation for

using this functionality.

HP P6000 EVA Disk Array Family 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): 9.3, 9.4, 10.0, 10.1
