Directly create a storage unit through the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI for use with protection policies.
Prerequisites
Add at least one
protection storage system for
PowerProtect Data Manager.
Steps
From the left navigation pane, select
Infrastructure > Storage.
The
Storage window appears.
On the
Protection Storage tab, select a storage system, and then select
More Actions > Manage Storage Units.
The
Storage Units page opens and displays a list of the storage units under the control of
PowerProtect Data Manager.
Select
Add.
The
Create Storage Unit or
Create Mobile Storage Unit dialog box opens.
Type a name for the new storage unit.
For mobile storage units in
system pools, select a
Network Group.
Network groups are configured in
DDMC to provide access to the
system pool over different physical or virtual networks. A network group contains information about the IP addresses for the
pool members and the IP address that clients use for access to the
system pool.
Set the capacity and stream quotas that restrict the storage unit resource consumption.
There are two kinds of quota limits—hard limits and soft limits. You can set either a soft or hard limit or both a soft and hard limit. Both values must be integers, and the soft value must be less than the hard value.
NOTE:When you set a soft limit and the limit is reached, an alert is generated, but data can still be written. When you set a hard limit and the limit is reached, data cannot be written. All data protection operations fail until data is deleted from the storage unit. The
PowerProtect DD Virtual Edition Installation and Administration Guide for the appropriate platform provides more information about quota configuration.
Capacity Quota—Controls the total size of precompression data that is written to the protection storage.
Stream Quota—The number of concurrent streams allowed during data protection operations. Setting a
Stream Quota limit can help ensure that that performance is not impacted negatively when a data protection operation consumes too many resources.
Set a
Retention Lock Mode from the available modes:
None,
Compliance, or
Governance.
NOTE:If you set a retention lock mode, it can never be disabled or changed.
This field displays only the licensed and available options for the selected
protection storage system. If working with a server DR storage unit, the only available retention lock mode is
Compliance.
If you select
Compliance, provide the username and password for the security officer who is associated with the
protection storage system.
NOTE:Setting a compliance mode retention lock on an asset storage unit automatically sets a compliance mode retention lock on the associated server DR storage unit.
Select
Save.
Results
PowerProtect Data Manager creates the storage unit on the selected
protection storage system.
