A company is using Replication Manager to backup their Microsoft Exchange 2010 environment using Microsoft Volume Shadow Service (VSS). Each Exchange database and log volume has separate Symmetrix VMAX LUNs. A Replication Manager backup job for a Microsoft Exchange 2010 server with 20 databases keeps failing to complete a backup.
What could be causing the failure?
An EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage array is hosting multiple Microsoft Exchange 2010 servers in a virtualized infrastructure. Replication Manager is being used with TimeFinder/Clone to provide backups of the Microsoft Exchange 2010 environment with Microsoft Volume Shadow Service (VSS).
Each hypervisor has two HBAs which are zoned into separate fabrics with four FAs from the Symmetrix VMAX in each fabric. The hypervisors host four Exchange 2010 servers that contain 20 databases each. When presenting the RDMs to the hypervisors using Auto-Provisioning, some of the RDMs are not visible.
What could be the issue?
A company intends to manage their EMC Symmetrix VMAX array with Solutions Enabler installed on a VMware Virtual Machine (VM). The VM will be hosted on an ESXi server.
What is the requirement with regards to Symmetrix gatekeeper (GK) devices?
The workload site in a concurrent Star configuration experienced a disaster. In the course of recovering from the disaster, it is discovered that the RDF pair configuration of the devices between the workload and synchronous target sites is marked as "Duplicate" as shown in the exhibit.
What is the cause for this behavior?
A company intends to use Symmetrix VMAX Virtual Provisioning in their VMware vSphere environment. They want to guarantee storage allocation for their mission critical virtual machines.
Which format would you recommend when creating virtual disks for these mission critical virtual machines?
