Before you enable the Storage Direct agent and discover VMAX storage groups, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:
NOTE Only Windows and Linux platforms are supported through the
PowerProtect Data Manager server.
The vDisk user is an administrator.
The LUNs of the storage groups to be protected are masked to the host.
The host is a 64-bit system.
PowerProtect Data Manager supports only 64-bit hosts.
The host is running a supported operating system version. The
eLab Navigator provides software compatibility information for
PowerProtect Data Manager.
All clocks on both the host and
PowerProtect Data Manager are time-synced to the local NTP server to ensure discovery of the backups.
The host and the
PowerProtect Data Manager network can see and resolve each other.
For replication, add a secondary
protection storage system.
For existing Storage Direct agent users, if you have backup copies for which the expiration is set to "never", an
BACKUP_EXPIRE variable must be added to the configuration file prior to setting up the Storage Direct agent host in
PowerProtect Data Manager. The value set for
BACKUP_EXPIRE will be applied to those existing backup copies and read automatically by
PowerProtect Data Manager, and displayed as the copy retention time within the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI.
After
protection storage discovery, ensure that the vDisk pool and storage units are available. In the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select
Infrastructure > Storage, select the
protection storage system, and then select
Manage Storage Units.
