Additional FRS capabilities

FRS can create and maintain copies of storage groups or databases for multiple production servers. The FRS user interface allows Exchange instances to be added or deleted from FRS management at will.

FRS supports Microsoft clustering. Without compromising the cluster or taking it offline, FRS provides quick database recovery.

Database integrity checking is included in FRS. FRS interacts with the Microsoft Exchange eseutil integrity checking tool for Exchange to check database copies and recovered databases, ensuring they are free of logical and physical corruption.

FRS performs both point-in-time and roll-forward recovery.

Functional components

The process of creating and managing recovery copies on the disk array using FRS involves the following components:

•Exchange

•HP FRS

•Windows VSS Service

•HP VSS Hardware Provider
