PDF

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 DD systems is available.
  • DDOS version 6.2 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 DD system directly without PowerProtect DD Management Center.
  • Application agent version 19.11 to 19.15 is required.
  • License: A trial license is provided with the PowerProtect Data Manager software. Customers can contact Customer Support for assistance with a permanent PowerProtect Data Manager license.
  • Large environments require multiple PowerProtect Data Manager instances. Contact Champions.eCDM@dell.com for assistance with sizing requests.
  • The PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 download file requires the following:
    • ESXi version 6.5, 6.7, or 7.0.
    • 10 vCPUs, 24 GB RAM, one 100 GB disk, and one 500 GB disk.
    • The latest version of the Google Chrome browser to access the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.
    • TCP port selected as the PowerProtect Data Manager communications port from the supported port ranges 7000 to 7009 and 7012 to 7020. The selected port is open between PowerProtect Data Manager and the application agent host.
      NOTE:If a port is not selected from the port ranges, then the default port 7000 is used as the PowerProtect Data Manager communications port. VM Direct supports only the default port 7000.
  • VMware ESXi server that hosts PowerProtect Data Manager meets the following minimum system requirements:
    • 10 CPU cores
    • 24 GB RAM for PowerProtect Data Manager
    • Five disks with the following capacities:
      • Disk 1—100 GB
      • Disk 2—500 GB
      • Disk 3—10 GB
      • Disk 4—10 GB
      • Disk 5—5 GB
    • One 1-GB NIC
  • Each Microsoft SQL Server host meets the following minimum system requirements:
    • In a scaled environment:
      • 8 CPU cores
      • 16 GB of RAM
    • In a stand-alone environment:
      • 4 CPU cores
      • 4 GB of RAM
    • Microsoft SQL Server host must not have been previously registered to PowerProtect Data Manager using a different protection type, either Application Direct or VM Direct.

      For example, if the Microsoft SQL Server host was previously registered to PowerProtect Data Manager with Application Direct during the Microsoft application agent installation, the protection type for that host may not be changed to VM Direct, even if the Microsoft application agent is uninstalled.
        

    NOTE:

    It is recommended to use stripes only for large databases.

    For performing a backup of 100 databases on a Microsoft SQL Server host, it is recommended to use 32 GB of RAM and the default stream count values of 4 for full and differential backups and 1 for log backups.
