For cluster configurations, the Cluster Options tab is displayed. This tab sets the required Shared
Data Path (location of the application configuration information used by Application Agent) and
selects the Restore Mode (whether or not to keep cluster resources online).
NOTE:
If you change Shared Data Path later, any existing replica creation tasks that use the
following advanced options will fail:
• Export a replica catalog file on the secondary server for tape backup
• Execute pre/post jobs
You must delete such tasks and then recreate them in the Create Replica Wizard. If you
attempt to execute an existing task without first deleting and recreating it, an error will occur.

For instances of SQL Server, the SQL Options tab allows you to configure SQL instances and set
the following parameters for creating and restoring database servers:
• The VDI Meta File Generation Timeout setting is required and can be adjusted according to
system usage as described in “
• Use the default VDI Meta File Location or specify the path.
• You can Enable restoration with stand-by status and supply the UNDO Log File Location.

The Replica Options tab can be used to set the following:
• For database servers: Protection Status Options (to set the status of old replicas to “Critical”),
Replica Task Options (to define the behavior when a task fails), and Email Options (for noti-
fication of task status).
• For backup servers: Replica Task Options (to prevent the backup server from accessing
mounted replicas and control whether secondary volumes are concealed from the backup
server) and VSS Options (to enable multiple servers to perform verifications as described in
“
Parallel verification count and number of backup servers
TIP:
For backup servers, after creating copy pairs be sure to set the Conceal Replicas option. If
concealment is disabled, the pair information of all instances managed by the backup server
is visible. Therefore, if you want to disable concealment to stop parts of the backup operation,
disable concealment, delete the copy pairs, then re-enable concealment of remaining
volumes.
