Configuring RecoverPoint and XtremIO storage

RecoverPoint and XtremIO storage configuration for ProtectPoint consists of provisioning storage on the XtremIO cluster, integrating the XtremIO cluster with the RecoverPoint cluster, and creating the backup and restore devices on the Data Domain system. The following tasks are for configuring storage for new installations. Some of these tasks may not be required always.

1. Complete the following tasks on the XtremIO cluster:
   1. Create an Initiator Group, and register all the RecoverPoint cluster FC ports to the Initiator Group.
   2. Provision Volumes on the XtremIO cluster, and then make the Volumes available to the AR host.
2. Complete the following tasks on the RecoverPoint cluster:
   1. Register the XtremIO Management Server.
   2. Register the Data Domain system.
   3. Create a RecoverPoint consistency group that contains all the XtremIO Volumes created for the ProtectPoint environment.
3. On the Data Domain system, complete the following tasks:
   1. Login to an SSH session.
   2. If it is not already enabled, enable block services for ProtectPoint.
   3. If it is not already enabled, enable DD Boost.
   4. Create a block-services for ProtectPoint pool where the ProtectPoint static-images will reside.
   5. To function as the destination for restore data from the RecoverPoint cluster, on the ProtectPoint MTree, create a storage unit.
   6. Create two block services for ProtectPoint device pools, one for backups and one for restores.
      NOTE After creating the block services for ProtectPoint device pool, RecoverPoint automatically creates the block services for ProtectPoint device-groups and devices that are required for ProtectPoint with RecoverPoint backups.
   7. Create a block-services for ProtectPoint device-group for restores that resides in the restore pool that is created in Step 3 e.
   8. Populate the restore device-group with restore devices of the same size as the production LUNs you are backing up.
