mssql2000 on emc mirrorview volume

Hello!

Does anybody know whether mssql2000 and emc mirrorvew _certified_ for
joint work?

(Mirrorview is a fc-based remote mirroring solution)

I mean is it supported from the MS point of view to put mssql
datafiles on emc mirrorview volumes?

For example Oracle corp. has "Oracle Compatible Remote Mirroring
Technologies" certification.

But what about MS?inq_3@.hotmail.com (Inquisitive) wrote in message news:<85197477.0407110459.26c9b313@.posting.google.com>...

I have no idea about that specific piece of hardware, but you might
want to ask EMC if it's certified for use with MSSQL (or indeed ask
Microsoft also). Microsoft's attitude appears to be that you can use
any hardware you want, but if it's not WHQL certified, then problems
will be referred back to the vendor:

You could also want to look at "Snapshot Backups" in Books Online, if
that's relevant to what you're trying to do.
