7.9 Recovery Manager Commands
3PAR Recovery Manager 4.1.0 For Microsoft Exchange 2010 User’s Guide
EXAMPLES
The following command will create a snapshot for the mailbox database mb2 on the Exchange
server bottlenosed, and will be verified on server raptors.
RMExch create -s bottlenosed -vs raptors -mdb “mb2”
NOTE: Use quotes ("") for names that include spaces.
NOTE: The target server to create snapshots upon the completion of remote copy
process has to have the same version of Recovery Manager Backup Server
component installed. Refer to Remote Copy Integration for more information on
the Remote Copy setup.
NOTE: It is the user's responsibility to perform data integrity checking and
transaction log truncation to the virtual copy created with the "-nc" option.
Skipping data integrity checking is not recommend.
NOTE: VSS will wait for up to 10 seconds for the writers to freeze I/O, and this
interval is not configurable. In most cases 10 seconds is a sufficient window to
successfully create a virtual copy. However, in some circumstances under very
heavy load, 10 seconds may not be enough and the virtual copy will fail on this
attempt, which is “by design”. VSS does not automatically retry the shadow copy
creation, you must retry the virtual copy creation using the Recovery Manager
GUI or the command line.
NOTE: During virtual copy creation, Recovery Manager dismounts and unmasks
the virtual copy device from the Windows server, and breaks the virtual copy
away from VSS control. During this process a “delayed write error” message may
show up, or the message "the system failed to flush data to the transaction log"
may appear in the System Event Log. This is normal.
