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.

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.
