Specifying settings for using VSS

If you want to use VSS to perform an online backup of a file system or an Exchange database, the
following settings are required:

The Application Agent and RAID Manager environments must be set up so that Application Agent
can perform VSS backups. Moreover, it is necessary to create a pair before backup. When creating
a pair, specify the

-m noread

option in the

paircreate

command.

P9000 RMXP Shadow Copy Provider must be installed in advance on the file server, or both the
database server and the backup server. Note that if P9000 RMXP Shadow Copy Provider has not
been installed on the servers when Application Agent is installed, P9000 RMXP Shadow Copy
Provider will be installed together with Application Agent. For details about how to install P9000
RMXP Shadow Copy Provider separately, see RAID Manager documentation.
Before you install P9000 RMXP Shadow Copy Provider, use the Services pane in the Windows
to make sure that the Windows services are set to the default settings shown in the following table:

If you attempt to install P9000 RMXP Shadow Copy Provider when these Windows services are
not set to their default settings, the P9000 RMXP Shadow Copy Provider service will not be re-
gistered as a Windows service. In such a case, when the backup command is executed when
VSS is specified in the

-mode

option, an error message will be displayed and processing will

terminate with an error.

The execution of the

raidvchkset

command, described in the RAID Manager manual, is not

necessary.
