We're about to setup a new 2-node cluster, replacing our existing one.
Its a physical cluster running 2008R2. The current cluster is protected by Another Product.
All user data is obviously going to be migrated to the new cluster.
We'll need a Daily backup of all the files. Not sure how many files each drive has but we're talking millions.
My abstract questions Before utilizing dpm here is are;
Is DPM 2012 capable to fully protect a Windows 2012 HA Failover cluster with SC SP1 installed? Or is it still 2008R2 to be on the safe side?
What are the current limitations in dpm 2012 regarding amount of files on a drive/mp?
What are the recommended implementation when protecting Fileclusters
Will we likely run into situations where DPM will triggers consistency-checks that wont have time to complete til next scheduled job is triggered? Have read other posts here about frequent access to many files, like a I/O-intensive application or a antivirus tends to be an issue
If so, what options does one have to trim this, except splitting up data on more disks which doesn't feel like an options since design is set by other factors? I'm talking settings in DPM to i.e reducing consistency checks, speed them up or so.
disks are between 200gb to 2100gb.
