Optional: To adjust policy values for this virtual copy (or, if you are scheduling automatic
copies, this group of virtual copies):
•
To adjust the expiration time, select Expiration Time and enter the new expiration time.
•
To adjust the retention time, select Retention Time and enter the new retention time.
Valid values are 0 {h|H|d|D} (for no retention time) to 43,800 hours/1,825 days.
For Availability Group databases, the policy settings for the selected server or instance are
displayed. If the policy settings does not exist for the selected server or instance, the default
settings are displayed.
For more information, see
“Setting the Recovery Manager Policy” (page 38)
NOTE:
User needs to set value 0 {h|H|d|D}, if they do not want to set the expiration value
and retention value for the virtual copy to be created. If this is not set, the global expiration
policy value and retention policy value will be used for the virtual copy when expiration-based
policy is configured.

To immediately create one virtual copy, click Finish in the Create Virtual Copy dialog box. To
schedule virtual copies, see
“Scheduling Automatic Virtual Copies” (page 43)
NOTE:
For Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Availability Group configuration:
•
You can not create virtual copy on all the replica sites at once. You can create virtual
copies on the replica sites only one at a time.
•
You can not create virtual copies of the secondary replica databases which are not set
for read mode. They will not be displayed in the RM GUI. They will also not be a part of
instance level virtual copies. However, you can create virtual copies from the primary site
by selecting the secondary replica site from HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for SQL GUI or
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for SQL CLI.
NOTE:
Under Virtual Copy Management node, Database will have Availability Group icon
if it contains even one virtual copy that was created when database was of Availability Group
type.
