Description
===========
SANworks Enterprise Volume Manager (EVM) is Web-based application software
that manages controller-based clone and snapshot operations. EVM can be used
to meet business continuance requirements by minimizing application downtime
required for system backups and data migration activities.
EVM automates the creation of command files that control the cloning or
snapshot operation. EVM also allows mounting of the clone or snapshot on a
second host on the same controller. The second host can then act as a
dedicated backup server or data warehouse server. All operations are then
done on the clone or snapshot, minimizing performance impact on the
production system. In the case of backup, the backup window can now be
expanded up to 24 hours.
Version 2.0D of EVM comes with two software disks: EVM Server software and
EVM host agent software. EVM Server software runs on the SANworks Management
Appliance. The EVM host agent software runs on the users host computer
systems that are a part of the EVM Network. The EVM Server software
communicates with the agent software on the hosts to perform functions such
as suspending and resuming database I/O and mounting clones and snapshots.
