Software that should not be used during replica operations
There are several tools and applications that can interfere with replica operations and should not be
run while performing backups and restores. Applications that use the primary or secondary volumes
can prevent P9000 RAID Manager from operating properly, interfere with mount/unmount operations,
and cause data inconsistencies. Such applications include:
• Disk management tools
• CHKDSK command
• Disk de-fragmentation tools
• Performance logging
• Anti-virus programs
• Programs that track directories and files in the drive (Index service, DLC service, and so on.)
• Applications that carry out disk operations (backup products other than Application Agent, and
so on)
• Veritas Enterprise Administrator
These applications might be executed from services in the background. Please adjust the startup times
so that processing of these applications does not conflict with replica operations.
NOTE:
Do not run P9000 RAID Manager commands while Replication Manager is executing replica
operations.
Windows Indexing Service (cisvc.exe)
Observe the following precautions with the indexing service:
• Confirm that the master binder of the index service is not operating. File access by the index service
can conflict with file operations of Replication Manager, which can cause an error in the index
service master binding or in replica creation or restore processing.
• Do not specify volumes that store the index service catalog. This is because when the restore occurs
the catalog of index service is also restored, possibly causing problems with the index services.
Provisioning Manager
For a database or backup server, do not perform any operation from Replication Manager that uses
the Windows OS during the host setup and refresh operations of Provisioning Manager until 10
minutes after the completion of these operations. If such an operation is carried out, there are cases
where replication operations may terminate with an error. When this occurs, operation of Provisioning
Manager is terminated. Please wait at least ten minutes before executing replica operations.
About creating application replicas
Replication Manager supports creation of application replicas (snapshots) of SQL Server and Microsoft
Exchange Server databases.
