This guide contains quick start information about the prerequisites and procedures for the installation of Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager with the application agent in a new or existing environment.

PowerProtect Data Manager overview Use PowerProtect Data Manager with the application agent to perform the following operations:

Automate the configuration of the application agent backup policy and protection storage settings. Create a catalog of backups that the application agent creates. Then monitor that catalog data to determine if retention

policies are being adhered to. Manage the life cycle of backups that the application agent creates. Ensure that the backups are marked for garbage

collection, based on the rules of the retention policy.

PowerProtect Data Manager does not change the way that the application agent works. DBAs, system administrators, or backup administrators create the backups and perform the restore operations.

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 in the E-Lab Navigator.

A list of hosts that write backups to 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 DD system directly without PowerProtect DD Management Center.

Application agent 19.10 or earlier is required. License: A trial license is provided with the PowerProtect Data Manager software. Dell EMC Data Protection Suite

Applications, Backup, and Enterprise customers can contact Dell EMC Licensing Support 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.

The PowerProtect Data Manager 19.10 download file requires the following: ESXi version 6.5, 6.7, or 7.0. 8 vCPUs, 18 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 7000 is open between PowerProtect Data Manager and the application agent hosts.

VMware ESXi server that hosts PowerProtect Data Manager meets the following minimum system requirements: 10 CPU cores 18 GB of RAM for PowerProtect Data Manager Five disks with the following capacities:

Disk 1100 GB Disk 2500 GB Disk 310 GB Disk 410 GB Disk 55 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.

PowerProtect Data Manager new deployment overview Familiarize yourself with the high-level steps required to install PowerProtect Data Manager with the application agent.

Steps

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 DD Management Center (DDMC).

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

NOTE: DDMC 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 DDMC.

3. Install PowerProtect Data Manager from the download file.

The PowerProtect Data Manager Deployment Guide provides instructions.

4. Add external DD systems or DDMC to PowerProtect Data Manager.

The PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User 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 "Enabling" chapter in the latest version of the PowerProtect Data Manager for Oracle RMAN User Guide or PowerProtect Data Manager for Microsoft SQL Server User Guide.

This operation should be performed by DBAs.

6. Add new or approve pending agent requests in the PowerProtect Data Manager according to the instructions in the "Enabling" chapter in the latest version of the PowerProtect Data Manager for Oracle RMAN User Guide or PowerProtect Data Manager for Microsoft SQL Server User Guide.

7. After the approval of agent requests, PowerProtect Data Manager must run a discovery operation to discover the assets.

The PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide provides information.

8. Add a protection policy for groups of assets that you want to back up.

You must add credentials to the database so that PowerProtect Data Manager can access the database and create backups. The PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide provides instructions.
