PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 Cyber Recovery User Guide

Managing storage

Define a storage object for each DD system that is running in the Cyber Recovery vault environment. A DD system in the Cyber Recovery vault serves as the repository for the data that is replicated from the production system and protected by the Cyber Recovery solution.

About this task

If you are defining the DD system for the first time, see Completing initial setup with the Getting Started wizard.

To update a DD system in the Cyber Recovery vault, ensure that there are no running Cyber Recovery jobs. There are no special considerations for updating a DD system; follow the update procedure in the relevant version of the Dell EMC DDOS, PowerProtect DD Virtual Edition (DDVE), and PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) Release Notes.

NOTE

If the DD system in the Cyber Recovery vault reaches its configured warning and critical space usage thresholds, the Cyber Recovery software displays the corresponding alerts on the Cyber Recovery dashboard. The default values for warning and critical thresholds are 80 percent and 90 percent respectively. If email is configured for your deployment, users receive an email notification.

If the DD system runs out of storage space, a Sync job fails. Clean up the DD system to reclaim space and then restart the Sync job.

Steps

  1. From the Main Menu, select Infrastructure > Assets.
  2. Click Vault Storage at the top of the Assets content pane.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • To add a storage object, click Add.
    • To modify an existing object, select the object and click Edit.
  4. Complete the following fields in the dialog box:
    Table 1. Vault storage fields
    Field Description
    Nickname Enter a name for the storage object.
    FQDN or IP Address Specify the DD host by using one of the following:
    • Fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
    • IP address
    Storage Username Specify a dedicated Cyber Recovery DD administration account (for example, cradmin), which the Cyber Recovery software uses to perform operations with the DD system. This DD account must have the admin role.
    Storage Password Enter the password of the DD administrator.
    SSH Port Number Enter a storage SSH port number.
    Reset Host Fingerprint (Security Officer only) If you change the FQDN or IP address of the DD host, select to reset the fingerprint. The Cyber Recovery software then sends an alert message.
    Tags Optionally, add a tag that provides useful information about the storage object. The tag is displayed in the details description for the vault storage in the Assets content pane in the Cyber Recovery UI. Click Add Tag, enter the tag, and then click Add.
    NOTE If a tag exceeds 24 characters, the details description displays the first 21 characters followed by an ellipsis (...).
  5. Click Save.
    The VAULT STORAGE table lists the storage object.
  6. In the storage object's row, click the icon in the Details column to view more detailed information that is retrieved from the DD system, such as the replication contexts and the Ethernet interface.
  7. To remove a storage object, select the storage object, and then click Delete.
