A location to create point in time, coalesced copies known as shadow copies
The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Provider for Volume Shadow Copy Service Software is
a VSS hardware provider that allows the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance to take consistent
snapshots for Windows hosts which are using block targets. VSS coordinates snapshots to
ensure block data is consistent. The provider communicates with a set of workflows on the
appliance to coordinate taking of snapshots as seen from the application. It works over both
iSCSI and Fibre Channel.
The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Provider for Volume Shadow Copy Service Software
is installed on hosts that require this functionality and coordination between applications.
Complete documentation for this application integration is packaged with the downloaded
components in the form of a readme file. The provider software and readme file are available as
part of the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Software Providers and Plug-ins patch on the Oracle
Technology Network. More information on VSS is available on the Microsoft web site: http:
