About this task
When using the DD Boost storage unit to perform the PowerProtect Data Manager server DR backup, the Cyber Recovery software creates the DD Boost user using UID 800. If UID 800 is unavailable, the next sequential available UID is assigned.
NOTE:
- The recovery procedure sets the operating system root and admin passwords for all PowerProtect Data Manager versions to the values that you specified in the admin password field when you added the PowerProtect Data Manager application object to the Cyber Recovery deployment.
- If the PowerProtect Data Manager recovery procedure fails to restore either the admin or root password, the Cyber Recovery software shows the job status as Warning. Optionally, reset either the admin or root password for additional security.
