PowerProtect Data Manager 19.11 Kubernetes User Guide
Prerequisites
Ensure that your environment meets the requirements for a new deployment or update of PowerProtect Data Manager.
Requirements:
NOTE The most up-to-date software compatibility information for the
PowerProtect Data Manager software and the application agents is provided by the
E-Lab Navigator.
- A list of hosts that write backups to PowerProtect DD systems is available.
-
DDOS version 6.1 or later and the PowerProtect DD Management Center are required. All models of DD systems are supported.
NOTE PowerProtect DD Management Center is required with a DDOS version earlier than 6.1.2. With DDOS version 6.1.2 or later, you can add and use a DDOS system directly without PowerProtect DD Management Center. - License: A trial license is provided with the PowerProtect Data Manager software. Contact your Customer Support representative for assistance with a permanent PowerProtect Data Manager license.
- Large environments require multiple PowerProtect Data Manager instances. Contact Champions.eCDM@emc.com for assistance with sizing requests.
