Scheduling Virtual Copies using the Recovery Manager GUI
You can schedule virtual copies at the same time you create a virtual copy of a storage group. For
more information, see
Scheduling Virtual Copies with Windows Task Scheduler
NOTE:
Because the command HpRmCli Exch create communicates with Exchange, you
must have Exchange administrator privileges to schedule this task.
To create virtual copies using the Windows Task Scheduler:
1.
To open the Task Scheduler, Click Start
→Programs→Accessories→System Tools→Task
Scheduler .
2.
Double-click Create Task.
3.
In the Name text box on the General tab, enter a name for the task.
4.
In the Security options area on the General tab, select the desired options.
5.
Select the Triggers tab.
6.
Click New.
7.
Enter scheduling information for the automatic creation of virtual records and select OK.
8.
Select the Actions tab.
9.
Click New.
10. Click the Browse button next to the Program/script text box.
11. Navigate to the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for Exchange installation location. The default
location is:
C:/Program Files/3PAR/RM/Exchange/bin
12. Click HpRmCli.exe and click Open.
13. In the Add arguments text box, enter:
(For Exchange 2010/ Exchange 2013) Exch create -s <ExchangeServer> -mdb
<mailbox_DB_name> -vs<verification_server>
(For Exchange 2007) Exch create -s <ExchangeServer> -g<storage group
name>
If the name has spaces, use double-quotes (“ “) to surround the name.
For example:
(For Exchange 2010/ Exchange 2013) Exch create -s bottlenosed -vs raptors
-mdb "mb 2"
(For Exchange 2007) Exch create -s bottlenosed -g "sg 1"
14. Click OK.
15. In the Conditions and Settings tabs, refine the settings as desired.
16. Click OK.
Result: Virtual copies are created as you have scheduled. Depending on the policy set with
the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for Exchange GUI, older virtual copies on the system might
automatically be removed if the number of virtual copies exceeds your specified maximum
threshold (see
“Setting the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Policy” (page 44)
).
