Change network settings 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.

NOTE: Network interfaces that exist on a Protection Storage 7.4.x or earlier system and that are configured to use an uncompressed IPv6 format cannot be discovered. An example of an uncompressed IPv6 format is 2620:0000:0170:0597:0000:0000:0001:001a. An example of a compressed IPv6 format is 2620:0:170:597::1:1a. To use these network interfaces, reconfigure them to use either an IPv4 address or a compressed IPv6 address, and then initiate a discovery.

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 > Change Network Settings.
    The Change Network Settings window opens and displays a list of known network interfaces, assigned IP addresses, link speeds, and network purposes.
  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 an IP address, link speed, and network purposes.
  4. If you typed a name for a virtual network in step 3, select one or more network purposes for the virtual network.
  5. Click Save.
    The PowerProtect Data Manager Appliance stores the network names.
