PowerProtect Data Manager 19.16 for Cyber Recovery User Guide

Completing the Getting Started wizard as the admin user

After the Cyber Recovery software is installed, log in and review the deployment, define vault storage, and add a policy.

1. On the Checklist tile, click View to verify that you have performed the required deployment steps.

   If you have not satisfied all requirements, log out and complete the required steps.

2. On the Vault Storage tile, click Add to define the vault storage. Complete the following fields in the Add Vault Storage dialog box and click Save:

   Table 1. Vault storage fieldsTable that describes the fields in the Vault Storage page.

   Field	Description
   Nickname	Enter a name for the vault storage.
   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 RecoveryDD 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 (when editing vault storage 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 vault storage. 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 (...).

   NOTE:Do not configure multiple Cyber Recovery servers to use the same DD system.
3. On the Policies tile, click Add to open the Add Policy wizard.
4. On the Policy Information page, complete the following fields and then click Next:

   Table 2. Policy Information pageTable that describes the fields in the Policy Information page.

   Field	Description
   Name	Specify a policy name.
   Type	From the drop-down list, select PPDM. NOTE:A PowerProtect Data Manager policy requires two MTrees for configuration.
   Storage	Select the vault storage containing the replication context that the policy will protect. NOTE:You cannot edit the vault storage for an existing policy.
   Tags	Optionally, add a tag that provides useful information about the policy. The tag is displayed in the details description for the policy in the Policies 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. On the Replication page, complete the following fields and then click Next:

   Table 3. Replication pageTable that describes the fields in the Replication page.

   Field	Description
   Replication Contexts	Under Context, select the MTree replication context to protect and the interface on the storage instance that is configured for replication. Under Ethernet Port, click Select Repl Ethernet and then select the interface on the storage instance that is configured for replication. NOTE: There can be only one policy per replication context, except for PowerProtect Data Manager policy types, which require a minimum of two replication contexts to create a PowerProtect Data Manager policy. Do not select the data or management Ethernet interfaces. If your DD system is running a version of DDOS that is earlier than version 7.8 and you select a Retention Lock Compliance replication context, the context will not be disabled.
   ServerDR Context	For a PowerProtect Data Manager deployment, select a ServerDR context from the list of replication contexts.
   Replication Window	Set a timeout value in hours for how long a job for a Sync action runs before Cyber Recovery issues a warning. The default value is 0. NOTE:If a job exceeds the time configured for the replication window, an alert is generated.
   Enforce Replication Window	If you change the default value in the Replication Window field, the Enforce Replication Window checkbox is displayed. Enable the checkbox to stop a Sync operation that continues to run beyond the replication window limit for that policy. When the replication window limit is exceeded, the operation completes the current DD snapshot replication and does not proceed to replicate queued snapshots.

6. On the Retention page, complete the following fields and then click Next:

   Table 4. Retention pageTable that describes the fields in the Retention page.

   Field	Description
   Retention Lock Type	Select one of the following: (Add Policy dialog box only) None, if retention locking is not supported. The retention fields are then removed from the dialog box. NOTE:A Sheltered Harbor policy cannot have a retention lock type of None. Governance if it is enabled on the storage instance. (Edit Policy dialog box only) Governance-disabled. Compliance if it is enabled on the storage instance.
   Enable Auto Retention Lock	NOTE:If you create a new policy, do not click the checkbox to enable the automatic retention lock feature. If the automatic retention lock feature was enabled previously, see the release notes for more information.
   Retention Lock Minimum	Specify the minimum retention duration that this policy can apply to PIT copies. This value cannot be less than 12 hours.
   Retention Lock Maximum	Specify the maximum retention duration that this policy can apply to PIT copies. This value cannot be greater than 1,827 days.
   Retention Lock Duration	Specify the default retention duration that this policy applies to PIT copies. The value can be the retention lock minimum up to the retention lock maximum.

   If you selected a Retention Lock Compliance replication context or the Compliance Retention Lock type, the Storage Security Credentials page is displayed. Otherwise, the Summary page is displayed.

7. On the Storage Security Credentials page, enter the DD Security Officer (SO) username and password and then click Next.
   NOTE: This username was created on the DD system.
8. Review the Summary page and either:
   • Click Finish if you are satisfied with the summary information and want to add the policy.
   • Click Back to return to the previous pages to change the information.
   If you selected a Retention Lock Compliance replication context and your deployment is running a version of DDOS that is earlier than version 7.8, the Cyber Recovery software fails to create the policy.
   By default, the Policies table lists the policies.
