PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Administration and User Guide
Introducing the PowerProtect Search Engine
When you deploy PowerProtect Data Manager, the PowerProtect Search Engine software is installed by default.
The PowerProtect Search Engine indexes virtual machine file metadata to enable searches based on configurable parameters. To use this feature, add at least one Search Engine node to the Search Engine to form a cluster. Adding a Search Engine node enables the indexing feature.
You can enable the indexing option when creating protection policies so that the assets are indexed while they are backed up. Recovering indexes from a disaster is a manual process. Recovering the Search Engine from a DR backup provides instructions. The indexing recovery process will be automated in a future release.
When a DR backup is run, scheduled, or manually triggered, the cluster backup workflow backs up the cluster index data. A backup task is created, and you can view the individual status of the Search Component backup under Details.
NOTE Scheduled backups with Search cluster integration appear in the Jobs pane as two identical jobs: an initialization job, which runs immediately, and the backup job, which runs both server DR and Search cluster backups.
Deploy Search Engine nodes with fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) only. PowerProtect Data Manager verifies that the hostname is an FQDN before deployment.
Limitations
- PowerProtect Search Engine is an optional feature that can be enabled, set up, and configured for virtual machine backups and protection policies. When you enable this feature, a backup of the Search Engine is taken as part of the server backup process. As of this release, you cannot disable these backups. Therefore, when Search is enabled, you must add the Search Engine node on the DD system that contains the ServerBackup MTree to the Allow list. If you use NFS for server DR, add the Search Engine node IP address or hostname to the client list for the NFS export.
- After an update to PowerProtect Data Manager, with the Search Engine already configured, and the first time that you use the Networks page to add a virtual network to an environment, PowerProtect Data Manager does not automatically add the virtual network to the Search Engine. Instead, manually edit each node to add the virtual network. This action makes the Search Engine aware of virtual networks. Any subsequent new virtual networks are automatically added to the Search Engine.
