For more information on creating a base volume with virtual copy space, or assigning virtual copy space after the base volume is created, see the HP 3PAR InForm OS Command Line Interface Reference.

Recovery Manager Requirements
•To create virtual copies and perform
•One backup server is required.
•Because Recovery Manager operates through HP 3PAR VSS Software, the database must be online to perform a file copy restore at the database level. To restore a SQL database that is detached, you can either mount a previously created snapshot of this database to the production server and copy over the database files, or you can issue a volume restore at the database level. For more information about restoring volumes, see “Recovery Manager Commands” (page 42).
•Backup and production server(s) must be running the same level OS version and the same version of HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for SQL Software. Recovery Manager does not support
•The same version of the InForm CLI must be installed on both the production and backup servers.
•The SQLServerWriter service must be running.
•Volumes exported to a host must be base volumes; you cannot export snapshot volumes.
