PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 Administration and User Guide
Protection storage
Protection storage is the set of configured storage systems where PowerProtect Data Manager stores backup copies, replicated copies, and other important information. Protection storage can include any of the following:
- A DD system, including High Availability PowerProtect DD mode
- An instance of PowerProtect DD Management Center (DDMC) that manages multiple DD systems
- A DDMCSmart Scalesystem pool
NOTE Data Domain is now PowerProtect DD. References to Data Domain or DD systems in this documentation, in the UI, and elsewhere in the product include PowerProtect DD systems and older Data Domain systems. In many cases the UI has not yet been updated to reflect this change.
The most up-to-date software compatibility information for PowerProtect Data Manager is provided in the E-Lab Navigator.
Observe the following information before you configure protection storage:
- Adding and configuring protection storage requires the Administrator role.
- You cannot add protection storage that runs incompatible versions of DDOS.
- You can only add the same protection storage system once, whether you specify the hostname, FQDN, or IP address.
- You cannot add a PowerProtect DD Management Center instance which has no managed DD systems.
- The first time that you add protection storage, PowerProtect Data Manager automatically configures and enables server DR. The first protection storage system is the default target. System recovery for server DR provides more information.
Protection storage is further divided into logical groupings that are called storage units, which hold related data and apply more detailed configuration options.

protection storage system.
NOTE Adding a
PowerProtect DD Management Center instance is not required for the Storage Direct agent.
PowerProtect DD Management Center automatic discovery
When you add an instance of PowerProtect DD Management Center, PowerProtect Data Manager automatically discovers all the supported DD systems which that PowerProtect DD Management Center instance manages.
PowerProtect Data Manager displays the discovered DD systems on the Protection Storage tab of the window after discovery finishes. It may take a few minutes for the discovered systems to appear.
For each DD system, the Managed By column in the table indicates the PowerProtect DD Management Center instance that manages the DD system.
If you add a DD system directly to PowerProtect Data Manager, the Managed By column displays the name that you provided for the DD system.
