PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Administration and User Guide

Specifying the PowerProtect Data Manager host

When you specify a vCenter server as the PowerProtect Data Manager host, it allows the vCenter server to perform operations unique to PowerProtect Data Manager.

The PowerProtect Data Manager host performs several operations, including the following:

  • Virtual-machine configuration and other system activities.
  • Taking a PowerProtect Data Manager snapshot, if required during a software update.
  • Allowing memory that is assigned to PowerProtect Data Manager to be automatically increased as necessary when performing a software update.
  • Enabling Cloud Disaster Recovery (Cloud DR) in order to increase required PowerProtect Data Manager CPU and memory. A vCenter host is a prerequisite for Cloud DR, as specified in the Cloud Disaster Recovery tab of the Infrastructure > Asset Sources window in the PowerProtect Data Manager user interface.
