10 Introducing HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for Microsoft Hyper-V
About Virtual Copy Management
HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for Microsoft Hyper-V features an essential Virtual Copy management
tool with enhanced recovery commands that allow you to create and restore application consistent
Virtual Copies of running Hyper-V Virtual Machines (VMs). When creating a VM Virtual Copy,
Recovery Manager for Microsoft Hyper-V identifies all the underlying HP 3PAR volumes and creates
Virtual Copies simultaneously for all volumes to ensure consistency. Recovery Manager for Microsoft
Hyper-V manages the set of Virtual Copies as a single entity.
NOTE: HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for Microsoft Hyper-V requires a license. In addition, specific
licenses are required for HP 3PAR Virtual Copy and HP 3PAR Virtual Lock when performing Virtual
Copy operations and setting volume retention policies.
Virtual Copy Data Consistency
Recovery Manager for Hyper-V creates application consistent Virtual copies of Hyper-V Virtual
Machines with Microsoft VSS technology and the HP 3PAR VSS Provider, using the Child VM
snapshot backup method.
For application consistent backups (Child VM Snapshot method) to be supported, the following
conditions must be met:
• All VM files must reside on HP 3PAR LUNs.
• Backup (volume snapshot) Integration Service is installed and running in the child VM. The
service name is Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor.
• The child VM must be in the running state.
• The snapshot file location for the VM is set to be the same volume in the host operating system
as the VHD files for the VM.
• All volumes in the child VM are basic disks and there are no dynamic disks.
• All disks in the child VM must use a file system that supports snapshots. For example, NTFS.
If the preceding conditions are not met, then a saved state (crash consistent) backup is taken, where
the VM is put into saved state during the backup process, and then returned to its previous state
on completion.
Recovery Manager for Hyper-V saves the Virtual Copy details, along with the VSS backup document,
for browsing and restoring purposes.
Application consistency is provided for HP 3PAR snapshots of Virtual Machines for data compatibility
with supported applications through the VSS Child VM Snapshot method, and supports crash
consistent backups using the Saved state method.
Virtual Copy Policy
Recovery Manager for Microsoft Hyper-V provides the ability to create Virtual Copy policies for
VMs. Only a single policy is permitted for every Virtual Machine and the policies exist independently
of the virtual disks the VM is using.
In Recovery Manager for Microsoft Hyper-V, the Virtual Copy policy contains the following
attributes:
• Enable expirable Virtual Copies allows you to specify that created Virtual Copies are removed
according to a specified schedule and are not affected by the maximum count.
• Retain Virtual Copy Set supports the number of hours and days of a Virtual Copy set being
retained.
NOTE: The Retain Virtual Copy Set option requires a HP 3PAR Virtual Lock™ license. For
more information about obtaining a license for HP 3PAR Virtual Lock™, contact your local
service provider.
About Virtual Copy Management 11
Graphical User Interface Scheduling Tool
You can automatically create Virtual Copies according to a specified schedule with RMH scheduling
tool and add policies to new Virtual Copies. For more information, see “Using the Web Client
Interface” (page 24).

Working with Virtual Copies
Recovery Manager for Microsoft Hyper-V provides essential tools to create, browse, and manage
VSS aware application consistent Virtual Copies of Microsoft Hyper-V and HP 3PAR StoreServ
system environments. The Virtual Copies are policy-based and its retention and expiration values
can be set at the time of creation.
Working with Virtual Copies 37
The application also provides the capability to perform a full restoration of any Virtual Machines
to its original location from a point-in-time Virtual Copy or VSS aware Snapshot. Any existing
configuration files and virtual hard disks are overwritten.
Creating Virtual Copies
NOTE: There are three options to create a Virtual Copy:
• Select a Hyper-V Server from the tree and click the Virtual Machines tab then select one or
more Virtual Machines and click Create Virtual Copy.
• Select a Hyper-V Server from the tree and click the Virtual Copies tab then click Create.
• Select a Virtual Machine from the tree and click the Virtual Copies tab then click Create.
To create a Virtual Copy:
1. From the Tree view pane, select the Hyper-V server.
2. Click the Virtual Machines tab and select one or more Virtual Machines.
Figure 32 Virtual Machines Tab
3. Click Create Virtual Copy.
4. If applicable, set the values for the following options:
• Virtual Copy name prefix (optional) The name of the virtual copy and is optional.
• Set Virtual Copy expiration Virtual Copy will be removed by StoreServ system when it
expired.
• Set Virtual Copy retention Virtual Copy can not be removed until retention period end.
• Enable saved state backup If all conditions required for an application consistent backup
are not met, then Recovery Manager for Hyper-V can take a saved state (crash consistent)
backup for the VM, if this option is enabled. If the option has not been enabled and all
requirements for an application consistent backup are not met, then Recovery Manager
for Hyper-V will fail the backup request.
NOTE: By default, Recovery manager for Hyper-V will always attempt an application
consistent back up first, whether or not this option is enabled.
NOTE: Click the question mark for more details about the option.

Working with Remote Copies
HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software helps you to safeguard against disasters that can occur at one
location, by allowing you to keep copies of data on a separate server which can be placed at a
remote location. For example, if there were a fire or earthquake at one location, all of the data
stored there could be lost unless a backup copy can be recovered from a separate location not
affected by the disaster.
To maintain updated copies of data at a remote location, Remote Copy uses two HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage Systems: a primary system (used for production) and a Remote Copy backup system, which
can be located anywhere. Therefore, when disaster strikes in one location, there is always a backup
of your data at the backup site.
For more information, see HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software User’s Guide.

NOTE: While it is not possible to send partial data within a Remote Copy group across data
sites. When there are multiple virtual machines configured to a same Remote Copy group
from StoreServ, virtual machines will be backed up, even if one of the Virtual Machine is
selected.
Repository Backup
Repository backup is vital for maintaining regular backups. If the RMH server fails, all the information
is no more accessible or lost forever. Moreover, if the RMH server (production server) fails, RMH
has to be reinstalled.
RMH server repository consists of two primary metadata files rmhv.db and settings.db. Both
these files are vital for repository backup as they have snapshot and credential information. Without
the rmhv.db file, RMH snapshot cannot be recovered and with no settings.db file, you have
to enter your RMH and HP 3PAR credential again.
Saving a Repository
