HP 3PAR Application Software Suite for Microsoft SQL Licenses - Manual (Page 48)

NOTE: Use quotes ("") when an option value includes spaces.
NOTE: HP 3PAR VSS Software waits up to 10 seconds for a virtual copy operation; this interval
is not configurable. In most cases, 10 seconds is a sufficient window in which to successfully create
a virtual copy. However, in some circumstances under very heavy loads, 10 seconds may not be
enough time, and the virtual copy might fail on this attempt. This failure is a VSS framework
requirement on Microsoft’s part.
If such a failure occurs, VSS does not automatically retry the shadow copy creation. You must use
the Recovery Manager GUI or CLI to re-attempt to create the virtual copy.
NOTE: During virtual copy creation, the system creates a backup document in XML format. This
document contains current system information and can be used for restore purposes.
NOTE: The snapshot volume set is limited to up to 64 volumes. In other words, each database
(under database-level operation) or each instance (under instance-level operation) can spread over
a maximum of 64 volumes.
NOTE: You can only perform database- or instance-level operations if you have sys admin
permissions for SQL Server.
