Results
PowerProtect Data Manager removes the specified asset source in the
Asset Sources window.
Any associated assets that are protected by the protection policy are removed from the protection policy and their status is changed to deleted. These assets can be deleted automatically or manually. The
PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide provides details on how to remove assets from
PowerProtect Data Manager.
The copies of assets from the asset source are retained (not deleted). You can delete the copies from the copies page, if required.
For an asset that was previously protected by
PowerProtect Data Manager, regular compliance deletion runs until all the backup pieces are expired.
Existing backup copies that were generated before the client was added to
PowerProtect Data Manager are not deleted from the PowerProtect DD storage unit. To delete the backup pieces, you must run a regular stand-alone
ddutil command:
For backup copies that
PowerProtect Data Manager generates,
PowerProtect Data Manager performs deletion of the copies based on the specified retention.
In the both cases, the backup administrator must perform the catalog cleanup by using the RMAN maintenance commands, such as the
crosscheck and
delete expired commands.
NOTE In an Oracle RAC cluster, when the active node is down, you must use the asset source deletion option (decommission feature) to unconfigure that particular node from the
PowerProtect Data Manager. This asset source deletion ensures that the
PowerProtect Data Manager operations run automatically from the next available node.
