Optional Software

HP OpenView Storage Storage Virtual Replicator combines a rich set of innovative capabilities that enhances and simplifies

Virtual Replicator storage management for Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 environments. Through virtualization, online volume growth, snapshot and management features, the software complements the capabilities within the operating system. HP OpenView Storage Virtual Replicator enables simplification of storage configuration, management, scalability and enhanced availability with e-mail notification for event customization, enhanced pool deletion that enables deletion of pool or disk containing snapshots, enhanced policy descriptions for easier identification. Support is for Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003.

Virtualization - multiple storage arrays can be consolidated into a pool of disk space for individual or clustered systems to use. Multiple virtual disks, up to 2 terabyte in size, can be created from a pool for users and their applications. Existing storage units with production data can be imported into a pool. The data partition is preserved as a virtual disk and unused capacity is added to the pool.

Online volume growth - Enables easy, non-disruptive growth with zero downtime. Allows a system administrator to grow an existing volume on virtual disks and Windows 2000 basic disk. The system will remain online, and the data on the volume will remain intact.

Snapshots - Instant, point-in-time snapshots for backup, online restore, testing or data mining. Enable instant creation of multipurpose virtual replicas of production data without the requirement of a physical copy Snapshots identical to ordinary physical disks, with both read and write capability. Snapshots can remain online for restore operations, testing, and data mining. Full interoperability with the Windows Server 2003 Volume Shadow-copy Service (VSS).

E-mail notification - customization of events for servers under your span of control. Enhanced pool deletion - delete a pool that contains snapshots and virtual disks or delete a virtual disk that contains snapshots with the DELTREE command.

Interoperability with OpenView Storage Mirroring

Enhanced policy descriptions - the policy key descriptions have been updated for easier identification. Please refer to the Optional Software section of this document or visit
