PowerProtect Data Manager 19.16 Virtual Machine User Guide

Selective protection: vRSLCM, VxRail Manager, Workspace ONE Access, and vRealize Suite virtual machines

This procedure protects all of the image-based VCF components, while providing more control over the backup settings used for them than quick protection. The components protected include vRSLCM, VxRail Manager, Workspace ONE Access, and vRealize Suite virtual machines. To protect file-based VCF components, refer to the other selective-protection procedures.

1. From a PowerProtect Data Manager command line, type the following two commands:

   cd /usr/local/brs/lib/sysmgr/bin

   ./ppdm-vcf-component-protection.sh
2. Provide PowerProtect Data Manager credentials for a user with the Administrator role.
3. Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the SDDC Manager server, and then provide SDDC Manager credentials for a user with the Administrator role.
4. From the backup-script main menu, enter 2, and then 3.
5. Select an image-based VCF component type to protect.
   NOTE:You can only select a single component type. To protect more than one component, follow the selective protection steps for each component.
   • If you select vRSLCM, select a discovered vRSLCM server to protect.
   • If you select any other component type, enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server to protect.
6. Confirm if a new Virtual Machine protection policy should be created in order to protect the component.
   • Enter y to provide details of the new protection policy.
   • Enter n to select from a list of existing protection policies.
