16
The procedure for configuring an EVA backup specification is described in the HP OpenView Storage Data Protector EVA/VA/MSA
Integration Guide, chapter 3 Snapshot Backup, section Configuring an EVA Backup Specification. To configure a CA EVA ZDB
backup specification, proceed as follows:
1. Perform the steps 1 and 2 of the referred procedure.
2. Specify the EVA-specific backup options:
a. Under Client systems, select the application and backup systems in the Application system and the Backup
system drop-down lists. Note that the application system must have access to the source virtual disks. The backup system
must have access to the replica of the source virtual disks (if backup of the source virtual disks will be performed) or the
replica of the destination virtual disks (if backup of the destination virtual disks will be performed), and have the tape device
connected.
b. In the EVA and Continuous Access configuration group box, select the All disks to be backed up are
part of CA configuration option. Click Specifics.
In the EVA in Continuous Access configuration specific options window, specify the options specific to
ZDB tape backup on CA EVA. See figures 2 and 3. For detailed information on these options, see “EVA in Continuous
Access Configuration Specific Options” on page 24. Click OK.
