In a cluster environment, when restoring data in a physical node different from that used during
backup, an Exchange virtual server that uses the same shared disk as that used during backup
must be running. Replication Manager cannot restore data for an Exchange virtual server, such
as one at a remote site, that uses a disk different from the one used during backup.

While restoring a replica, do not open the physical disk resource property of the cluster adminis-
trator screen. If a property is opened, the restore may fail.

Mixing Cnt Ac-A and BC pair volumes

If you want to mix the pair volumes for Business Copy and Continuous Access, the following system
configurations are supported.

Figure 15 When the primary volume for BC and the primary volume for Cnt Ac-A are the same LDEV

When using the configuration shown in

Figure 15

to restore the paired volume for Business Copy,

set the status of the paired volume for Continuous Access to SMPL or PSUS (SSUS). If you attempt to
restore the pair volume for Business Copy with the status of a pair volume for Continuous Access PAIR,
an error message indicating that the status of the copy group is invalid is displayed and the restore
operation fails.

Defining consistency groups and P9000 RAID Manager

It is important to consider how backup and restore operations are performed when defining consistency
groups, especially if you plan on performing partial database restorations.
