Quick start procedures 7 Important performance issues Take steps to prevent these issues which can affect FRS performance: · Excessive traffic on the Ethernet LAN. · Viruses that slow down network traffic. · A firewall that slows traffic between the servers hosting FRS and the CV server. Any firewall must be open between these systems. Important Exchange 2003 configuration notes FRS works within the limits of Exchange 2003. The following configuration rules apply. · FRS supports no more than five databases per storage group and no more than four storage groups per Exchange instance. · Use a separate LUN for each storage group. · All databases within a storage group must reside on one LUN of the HP disk array. Databases cannot be separated onto different LUNs. · Use a separate LUN on the HP disk array for the logs and checkpoint file for each storage group. · The LUN that a storage group resides on and the LUN that the logs for that storage group reside on must NOT be the same LUN. · FRS requires that a copy of the MS Exchange eseutil. exe and ese. dll utilities be placed in the installation directory (c:\hpfrs) on the recovery server. FRS in CA EVA and/or CLX EVA environments A restore operation of FRS EVA or any snapshot and snapclone of Business Copy (BC) EVA will fail if the destination volume for the restore operation is a part of a DR group. A DR group is a group of remotely mirrored vdisks (copy sets) between two EVA subsystems. In order to successfully restore a vdisk from a disk-based shadow copy (SnapClone) you must first check whether the vdisks that will be restored are part of a DR group and then remove the vdisk from the DR group. If 8 HP StorageWorks EVA Fast Recovery Solution for Windows Server 2003: Administration Guide you have only one vdisk in the DR group you must delete the DR group. After the restore from the shadow copy using FRS, you should recreate the copy set in the DR group or recreate the DR group. This can be done using Command View EVA, Replication Solution Manager or the scripting tool SSSU. Refer to the manuals for these products for details. If there is a Cluster Extension EVA geographically dispersed cluster solution installed, set the read-only attribute for the recreated copy set or copy sets in the DR group. Then refresh the Cluster Extension EVA resource information by clicking the "Connection Test" button in the resource's property window in the Cluster Administrator GUI. This updates the DR Group ID information which is stored as part of the cluster resource information with the newly created DR Group's ID. Refer to the Cluster Extension EVA User Guide for details.
