PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 SAP HANA User Guide

PowerProtect Data Manager new deployment overview

Familiarize yourself with the high-level steps required to deploy PowerProtect Data Manager with the application agent.

1. Design how to group the backups, based on the storage requirements and retention policies.
   The account team can help with backup storage design.
2. Install PowerProtect DD Management Center.

   PowerProtect Data Manager uses PowerProtect DD Management Center to connect to the DD systems. The DD Management Center Installation and Administration Guide provides instructions.

   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 DD system directly without PowerProtect DD Management Center.
3. Deploy PowerProtect Data Manager from the download file.
   The PowerProtect Data Manager Deployment Guide provides instructions.
4. Add external DD systems or PowerProtect DD Management Center to PowerProtect Data Manager.
   The PowerProtect Data Manager Administrator Guide provides instructions on how to add protection storage.
5. Install the application agent on the appropriate hosts and connect them to PowerProtect Data Manager according to the instructions in the next chapter.

   DBAs should perform this operation.

   NOTE:After you create a centralized protection job, the first backup is a full backup.
6. Add new or approve pending agent requests in the PowerProtect Data Manager according to the instructions in the next chapter.
7. Add a protection policy for groups of assets that you want to back up.
   The PowerProtect Data Manager Administrator Guide provides instructions.
   Configuration is complete.
8. Perform a full backup so that PowerProtect Data Manager can detect the proper backup chain.
   Without a full backup, PowerProtect Data Manager treats the backups as partial and assumes that you are out of compliance. DBAs create backups and PowerProtect Data Manager creates a catalog of the backups, monitoring the catalog for retention policy compliance, and, if configured, managing the life cycle of the backups.
