Hi Thomas, > Does Flashcopy Manager support the XtremIO array or not?
For FCM Unix and Linux - No, unless placed under an SVC For FCM VMware - No, unless placed under an SVC For FCM Windows - If EMC's VSS provider supports it, then FCM Windows support its You will need to ask your EMC rep about this... I don't know. (Windows is different because it uses the Microsoft VSS infrastructure and relies on the device vendor to provide the "glue" between VSS and the hardware.)
