RSM 1.1, EVA3000, Snapshots of Windows cluster disk resources

[Jason Grimme_1]

Hello,

I have a pair of dl380 G4 Storage Servers, clustered and connected to an EVA3000. The cluster is sharing our 4 LUNs that make up our corporate file server.

We are licenesed for Business Copy and have downloaded Business Copy 3.0, which include RSM 1.1 Server and Agent.

I would like to take snapshots of the file server luns and present them to my tape backup server using RSM Jobs.

1 - Do I need to define the clustered file server in RSM and suspend disk activity while the snap is taken?

2 - If so, what is the correct way to do this?

3 - I would like to assign drive letters T: - Z: to the snapshots, and under each drive letter, mount the 4 different volumes as directories/mount points (e.g. T:\VirtualDisk1, T:\VirtualDisk2, U:\VirtualDisk1, U:\VirtualDisk2, etc), and *roll* the drive letter to T: is the most recent snap, U: 2nd most recent, etc. Is this possible?

4 - If nothing else, does someone have a simple process to define a job to take a snapshot of a vDisk presented to cluster and present it to another host, then mount is as a Mount Point?

tx!
