About asset sources, assets, and storage
Assets are the basic units that PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance protects. Asset sources are the mechanism by which PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance manages assets and communicates with the storage system that stores backup copies of the assets.
For PowerStore, the asset source is of type Storage Array. Assets are block volumes, which include volumes and volume groups. Before you can add an asset source, you must enable the source within the PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance UI.
More generally, asset sources can also include vCenter servers, Kubernetes clusters, application hosts, and other supported types. These other asset sources support additional asset types, such as virtual machines. The PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance Administrator Guide provides more information about supported asset sources and types.
