Installing and Using the Admhost and Admsnap Utility
Installing the CLARiiON VSS Provider 
The CLARiiON VSS Provider is supported on Windows Server 2003 
and VMware ESX Servers running Windows Server 2003 on the 
Virtual Machine. However, you can only use the ESX Server as the 
production server. The ESX Server cannot be used as the secondary 
server, and therefore cannot access the copy. 
For the supported versions of this operating system, see the Admsnap Release 
Notes.
