Volume Shadow Copy Service Provider
You can install the volume shadow copy service (VSS) provider to support
advanced management of iSCSI virtual disks and snapshots.
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target VSS Provider — iSCSI snapshots are
created using the VSS and a storage array with a provider that is designed for
use with VSS. A Microsoft iSCSI Software Target VSS provider is required to
create application-transportable snapshots of iSCSI virtual disks and create
application-consistent snapshots from iSCSI initiators.
This provider can be installed on the iSCSI initiator server and on the server
that is used to perform backups. The backup software should support
transportable snapshots.
The iSCSI software target VSS provider installation package is located on the
Microsoft Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003 Reinstallation DVD at
the following location:
CMPNENTS\FEATURE_PACKS\iSCSITargetVSS.exe.
Indexing
The Indexing service extracts information from a set of documents and
organizes the information for quick and easy access by the search function on
systems running Windows 2000 or Windows XP. This information can include
the contents and characteristics of the document such as the author's name.
When the index is created, you can query the index for documents that contain
keywords, phrases, or properties.
