PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Administration and User Guide
About other asset sources
In addition to vCenter server asset sources, PowerProtect Data Manager provides the option to enable the following asset sources to protect other asset types.
NOTE The
PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide does not provide instructions for Kubernetes clusters or agent asset source management. Refer to the
PowerProtect Data Manager online help or individual Kubernetes and agent user guides for more information.
File System agent
After the File System agent is approved and registered in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, PowerProtect Data Manager integrates with the agent to enable an application administrator to protect and recover data on the File System host, and to check and monitor backup compliance against protection policies.
Kubernetes cluster
After the Kubernetes cluster asset source is added and registered in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, PowerProtect Data Manager enables protection of PVCs and namespace data on the Kubernetes or Tanzu Kubernetes cluster.
NAS agent
After the NAS asset source is added and registered in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, PowerProtect Data Manager enables protection of NAS assets.
Microsoft application agent for Microsoft Exchange Server
After the Microsoft application agent is approved and registered in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, PowerProtect Data Manager integrates with the agent to enable an application administrator to protect and recover the Microsoft Exchange Server application data on the application host, and to check and monitor backup compliance against protection policies.
Microsoft application agent for Microsoft SQL Server
After the Microsoft application agent is approved and registered in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, PowerProtect Data Manager integrates with the agent to enable an application administrator to protect and recover the Microsoft SQL Server application data on the application host, and to check and monitor backup compliance against protection policies.
Oracle RMAN agent
After the Oracle RMAN agent is approved and registered in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, PowerProtect Data Manager integrates with the agent to enable an application administrator to protect and recover the Oracle application data on the application host, and to check and monitor backup compliance against protection policies.
SAP HANA agent
After the SAP HANA agent is approved and registered in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, PowerProtect Data Manager integrates with the agent to enable an application administrator to protect and recover the SAP HANA application data on the application host, and to check and monitor backup compliance against protection policies.
Storage Direct agent for Storage Data Management
Storage Data Management uses snapshot backup technology to protect data on VMAX and PowerMax storage arrays by moving storage group data from the array to a DD system. After the Storage Direct agent is approved and registered in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, and the DD system and the SMIS server are added and discovered, the Storage Direct agent enables you to discover the storage groups in the storage arrays, and assign unprotected storage groups to a protection policy for backup and recovery operations.
