Support for the ASM Agent on a Windows Server 2008 system requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. If Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 is not installed, the ASM Agent installation will fail.

Issue: Data protection settings are not modified for storage areas that ae promoted by ASM Description If data protection settings (replication, snapshots, and backup) are applied to a remote user-defined storage area, and then a SQL Server database or Exchange database is manually migrated to this storage area, ASM automatically promotes the application to a SQL or Exchange Storage area during the discovery process. ASM does not, however, adjust the data protection settings that were originally applied to the area. This may lead to failures when taking snapshots, running backups, or running replication. When SQL Server or Exchange databases that are part of user-defined storage Workaround areas are promoted to SQL or Exchange storage areas in ASM, disable and delete all data protection settings for those areas (replication, snapshots, and backup) and reset them using ASM. Issue: Replicating a storage component whose application data exists in a single iSCSI LUN results in extra space utilization on the replication target Description When a single iSCSI LUN is presented to a SQL or Exchange server, the database file and database transaction log file are both created on the volume contained in the iSCSI LUN. If the iSCSI LUN was created on the AiO as a user-defined application, ASM will discover that the database files are now in the volume and it will promote the user-defined application to a SQL Server or Exchange application instance. If the SQL Server or Exchange application instance is replicated to another system, the iSCSI LUN is replicated to the target system twice: once for the database file and again for the log file. In general, the amount of space used on the replication target is equal to the size of each iSCSI LUN that contains multiple components multiplied by the number of components in that iSCSI LUN. If multiple components exist in multiple iSCSCI LUNs, the sum of the product of the sizes is the total consumed space. Snapshot space usage is similar. For example, a single iSCSI LUN of 200MB that contains a volume that has both the database file and the log file would consume 400 MB of space on the replication target (200MB x 2 = 400MB). Likewise, an Exchange server with one storage group of three mail stores on one iSCSI LUN of 500MB and the log and public store on a separate iSCSI LUN of 250 MB would consume 2000MB of space on the replication target (500MB x 3 + 250MB x 2).

All-in-One Storage Manager
Description
On Windows Server 2008 systems, the installation of the HP All-in-One Storage
Manager Agent may fail with an
Install failed
error message. Support
for the ASM Agent on a Windows Server 2008 system requires Microsoft .NET
Framework 3.0. If Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 is not installed, the ASM Agent
installation will fail.
Workaround
To install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 on Windows Server 2008:
1.
If the
Initial Con
guration Tasks
window is not open on the Windows Server
2008 system, open it by entering the
oobe
command at the
Run
prompt.
2.
Click
Add a Role
.
The
Add Roles Wizard
opens.
3.
Click
Next
.
4.
On the
Server Roles
page, check the
Application Server
box and then click
Next
.
5.
Complete the wizard.
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 is installed. The ASM Agent can now be installed.
Issue:
Data protection settings are not modi
ed for storage areas that ae promoted by ASM
Description
If data protection settings (replication, snapshots, and backup) are applied to a
remote user-de
ned storage area, and then a SQL Server database or Exchange
database is manually migrated to this storage area, ASM automatically promotes
the application to a SQL or Exchange Storage area during the discovery process.
ASM does not, however, adjust the data protection settings that were originally
applied to the area. This may lead to failures when taking snapshots, running
backups, or running replication.
Workaround
When SQL Server or Exchange databases that are part of user-de
ned storage
areas are promoted to SQL or Exchange storage areas in ASM, disable and delete
all data protection settings for those areas (replication, snapshots, and backup)
and reset them using ASM.
Issue:
Replicating a storage component whose application data exists in a single iSCSI LUN results in
extra space utilization on the replication target
Description
When a single iSCSI LUN is presented to a SQL or Exchange server, the database
le and database transaction log
le are both created on the volume contained
in the iSCSI LUN. If the iSCSI LUN was created on the AiO as a user-de
ned
application, ASM will discover that the database
les are now in the volume and it
will promote the user-de
ned application to a SQL Server or Exchange application
instance. If the SQL Server or Exchange application instance is replicated to
another system, the iSCSI LUN is replicated to the target system twice: once for the
database
le and again for the log
le.
In general, the amount of space used on the replication target is equal to the size
of each iSCSI LUN that contains multiple components multiplied by the number
of components in that iSCSI LUN. If multiple components exist in multiple iSCSCI
LUNs, the sum of the product of the sizes is the total consumed space. Snapshot
space usage is similar.
For example, a single iSCSI LUN of 200MB that contains a volume that has
both the database
le and the log
le would consume 400 MB of space on the
replication target (200MB x 2 = 400MB). Likewise, an Exchange server with one
storage group of three mail stores on one iSCSI LUN of 500MB and the log and
public store on a separate iSCSI LUN of 250 MB would consume 2000MB of
space on the replication target (500MB x 3 + 250MB x 2).
