NetWorker 19.7 Snapshot Management Integration Guide

Configuring NetWorker ProtectPoint, RecoverPoint and VMAX devices and pool with the wizard

1. In the NMC Enterprise view, select the NetWorker server name, and then double-click the NetWorker application to launch it.
2. In the NetWorker Administration window, click the Devices tab.
3. In the left panel, right-click Devices, and then select New Device Wizard.

   Use the wizard to specify the options and values you need for the backup configuration.

   NOTE To modify completed wizard pages, click the links in the steps panel. The number of steps can vary according to the type of configuration.
4. On the Select the Device Type page, select ProtectPoint device type, and then click Next.
5. On the Data Domain Preconfiguration Checklist page, review the requirements.

   Configure the Data Domain system for ProtectPoint, and then define a DD Boost username.

6. On the Specify the Data Domain Configuration Options page, configure the following attributes:
   1. In the Data Domain System Name field, specify one of the options:
      • In the Use an existing Data Domain System field, select an existing system.
      • In the Create a New Data Domain System field, specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) or IP address of the Data Domain system.
   2. In the vDISK Credentials attribute, provide the vDISK Username and the vDISK Password credentials that you used when creating vDisk device pool on the Data Domain system.
   3. Click Next.
7. On the Select Folders to use as Devices page, select any device folder. Each folder represents a vDisk pool on the Data Domain.
   The table displays the NetWorker Device Name and Disk Pool information. Click Next.
8. On the Configure Pool Information page, specify the following settings:
   1. Select Configure Media Pools for Devices.
   2. Specify the Pool Type that targets clients to the devices. For backups, select Backup. For cloning or staging operations, or to create a pool, select Backup Clone.
      NOTE If you created a media pool or if you want to use an existing media pool, ensure that the media pool does not have a media type required restriction.

      If you create a pool, do not select an existing pool.

   3. Select Label and Mount device after creation.
   4. Click Next.
9. On the Select Storage Nodes page, specify the following settings:
   1. Select or create the NetWorker storage node that handles the devices.
      If you create a storage node, select Dedicated Storage Node.
   2. Click Next.
10. On the SNMP Monitoring Options page, type the name of the Data Domain SNMP community string and specify the events that you want to monitor.

    If you do not know the name of the community, then clear Gather Usage Information.

    SNMP monitoring enables NMC to display the Data Domain system status and to list the backup and the recovery events. The monitoring feature also provides a link for launching the Data Domain interface.

11. On the Review the Device Configuration Settings page, review the settings, and then click Configure.

    NetWorker configures, mounts, and labels the ProtectPoint device for the specified pool.

12. The Device Configuration Results page is informational only. To exit the wizard, click Finish.
13. In the NMC Devices view, verify that NetWorker labeled and mounted the device, and it is ready for use. This view also lists the volume name for the device.
