Preface
The purpose of this guide is to demonstrate how to use VERITAS FlashSnapTM software to implement point-in-time copy solutions on enterprise systems. FlashSnap offers you flexible solutions for the efficient management of multiple point-in-time copies of your data, and for reducing resource contention on your business-critical servers.
Note
This guide supersedes the VERITAS Off-Host Processing Using FastResync Administrator's Guide.
The database server products mentioned in this document may not be supported on certain operating system platforms.
Most VERITAS Volume Manager commands require superuser or other appropriate privileges.
The VERITAS FlashSnap Point-In-Time Copy Solutions Administrator's Guide provides information about how to implement solutions for online backup of databases and cluster-shareable file systems, for decision support on enterprise systems, and for Storage Rollback of databases to implement fast database recovery.
This guide is intended for experienced system administrators responsible for installing, configuring, and maintaining high-availability clustered systems under the control of VERITAS software.
This guide assumes that you have a good knowledge of:
- The AIX, HP-UX, Linux or SolarisTM operating system (OS).
- AIX, HP-UX, Linux or Solaris system administration.
- Cluster hardware and its configuration in enterprise installations (for scenarios that use clusters).
- Storage management.
- Configuration and administration of DB2, Oracle or Sybase databases (for operating systems and scenarios that use these databases).
