PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance 5.16.0.0 Administrator's Guide for DM5500

Name virtual networks for protection storage

After you add protection storage, name the virtual network or networks between the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance and the protection storage system. To rename a virtual network (edit the network name), repeat these steps.

About this task

Separating the Data for Management Components traffic from the Management traffic requires you to name the virtual networks for protection storage. If you do not name the virtual networks for protection storage, components such PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance and Search Engine nodes have no route to protection storage over the Data for Management Components network. This traffic defaults to the Management network.

Steps

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance UI, select Infrastructure > Storage.
    The Storage window appears.
  2. On the Protection Storage tab, select the storage system, and then select More Actions > Name Network.
    The Name Network window opens and displays a list of known network interfaces, assigned IP addresses, link speeds, and supported traffic types.
  3. Identify the interfaces for each new virtual network, and then select or type names for the virtual networks in the corresponding fields.
    Each interface indicates IP address, link speed, and the supported traffic types.
  4. Click Save.
    The PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance stores the network names.
