Configure and deploy the reporting engine

Perform the following steps in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI to configure and deploy the reporting engine.

Prerequisites

  • You must deploy the reporting engine on a separate virtual machine.
  • The vCenter server must be added as an asset source from Infrastructure > Asset Sources.
  • The virtual machine requires 500 GB to function properly.

About this task

It is recommended that you deploy the reporting engine to the vCenter server that hosts PowerProtect Data Manager. To verify the hosting vCenter:

  1. Click the Settings > Hosting vCenter link.
  2. Provide the details for the vCenter server that hosts PowerProtect Data Manager or select the hosting vCenter server from asset sources.

Steps

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Reports > Reporting Engine.
  2. Click Configure.
    The Configure Reporting Engine dialog box opens.
  3. In the Configure Reporting Engine dialog box, complete the required fields:
    • vCenter server to deploy—Specify the vCenter server on which to deploy the reporting engine.

      If you specified the hosting vCenter server, PowerProtect Data Manager populates the fields with the required information.

    • ESX host or cluster—Select on which cluster or ESXi host you want to configure the reporting engine.
    • Host FQDN—Specify the fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
    • IP address, Gateway, Netmask, and Primary DNS—Note that only IPv4 addresses are supported.
    • Network—Displays all the networks that are available under the selected ESXi host or cluster.

      For virtual networks (VLANs), this network carries Management traffic.

    • Data Store—Displays all datastores that are accessible to the selected ESXi host or cluster. Select the datastore.
  4. Click Deploy.

Results

PowerProtect Data Manager starts the configuration process. Go to Reporting Engine to check the status. You can also go to the System Jobs window to monitor the progress of the configuration job.

When the process is complete, a notification appears in the Reporting Engine window to indicate that the configuration is successful. You can now access reports from Reports > Report Browser.
