Protection storage is the set of configured storage systems where
PowerProtect Data Manager stores backup copies, replicated copies, and other important information.
Protection storage can include any of the following:
A
DD system, including
High Availability PowerProtect DD mode
An instance of
PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) that manages multiple
DD systems
A
DDMCSmart Scalesystem pool
NOTE:Data Domain (DD) is now
PowerProtect DD. References to Data Domain or Data Domain systems in this guide, in the user interface, and elsewhere in the product include
PowerProtect DD systems and older Data Domain systems.
The most up-to-date software compatibility information for
PowerProtect Data Manager is provided by the
E-Lab Navigator.
Observe the following information before you configure
protection storage:
Adding and configuring
protection storage requires the
Administrator role.
You cannot add
protection storage that runs incompatible versions of
DDOS.
You can only add the same
protection storage system once, whether you specify the hostname, FQDN, or IP address.
You cannot add a
PowerProtect DD Management Center instance which has no managed
DD systems.
The first time that you add
protection storage,
PowerProtect Data Manager automatically configures and enables server DR. The first
protection storage system is the default target.
System recovery for server DR provides more information.
Adding
protection storage by hostname or FQDN provides maximum flexibility for future IP address changes.
PowerProtect Data Manager uses DNS to resolve hostnames and FQDNs when you select these entries for the
Management network interfaces. Should you later change the DNS mapping,
PowerProtect Data Manager resolves the new address and directs
Management communication there. Communication with the
Data network is by IP address.
Protection storage is further divided into logical groupings that are called storage units, which hold related data and apply more detailed configuration options.
