PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Administration and User Guide

Assign a virtual network by protection policy

The following steps apply a virtual network to an existing protection policy. You can also assign a virtual network when you create a protection policy.

About this task

The Network Interface field selects the network interface for communication with the destination protection storage system. This network carries the backup data.

Steps

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Protection > Protection Policies.
    The Protection Policies window appears.
  2. Locate an existing protection policy for which you want to configure a virtual network.
  3. Select the radio button for the protection policy, and then click Edit.
    The Edit Policy wizard opens to the Summary page.
  4. In the Objectives block, click Edit.
    The Edit Policy wizard moves to the Objectives page.
  5. Select the checkbox for the appropriate schedule.
  6. In the Network Interface field, select the correct virtual network from the list.

    Each list entry indicates the interface name, interface speed, and virtual network name.

    If the network was not named, a combination of the interface name and VLAN ID replaces the virtual network name. For example, ethV1.850. An interface without a virtual network name behaves as if a virtual network was not configured.

  7. Click Next.
    The Edit Policy wizard moves to the Summary page.
  8. Verify the policy information, and then click Finish.
    Ensure that the selected assets are part of the virtual network.
    The Edit Policy wizard closes.
  9. Click OK to acknowledge the update, or click Go to Jobs to monitor the update.
