Remove protection storage
Certain maintenance tasks should be performed before removing a protection storage system.
About this task
NOTE:
To remove a
DDMC that no longer manages any
DD systems, contact
Customer Support.
Follow these steps to remove a
protection storage system.
CAUTION:If these steps are not performed in sequence, an increasing number of
PowerProtect Data Manager operations start to fail and system performance is degraded.
Steps
- Wait for all backup copies that use the DD system to expire. The expiration time can be reduced by editing the retention value of the backup copies from the window.
- For each protection policy that uses the DD system, either edit the protection policy and replace the DD system or remove the protection policy altogether.
- Remove the DD system from PowerProtect Data Manager.
- Remove the DD system from the external environment.
Results
If a protection storage system is removed and you have not followed steps 1 and 2, you might start to see error messages similar to the following:
Unable to delete copies for … from protection storage … in storage unit … because of connection issues on the storage system. Unable to delete copies for asset … on storage unit …
You might also see repeated system jobs with a status of Failed and a description of Schedule Deleting Expired Copies.
If these error messages are seen, you can try following steps 1 and 2 to correct the situation. However, if PowerProtect Data Manager remains unstable, contact Customer Support.
